What is the difference between Ticket to Ride and Ticket to Ride first journey?

Ticket to Ride: First Journey is geared at younger gamers who aren't quite ready for the full game. This version uses pictures on the game board and route cards so reading is not required to play. It also simplifies the scoring, rather than earning points, players are racing to complete six routes to win the game.
