Ticket to Ride: Rails & Sails
A bigger, longer Ticket to Ride with ships, harbors and the whole world to cross.
What it is
Claim rail and sea routes with separate train and ship cards, and decide early how many of each piece to take. Harbors score big if your tickets end there, and the double-sided board offers the World or the Great Lakes. Alan R. Moon's 2016 edition runs longer than other maps. Best for Ticket to Ride regulars who want a heavier evening.
What we love
- Two maps in one box: the World and the Great Lakes
- Choosing your mix of trains and ships is a fresh decision
- Harbors are worth 20, 30 or 40 points, which keeps the end of the game tense
Honest trade-offs
- Much longer than standard Ticket to Ride, at 90 to 120 minutes on the box
- Not the place to start, since there is more to sort and track
- A big box at a big price
