Ticket to Ride: Around the World – A Family Game with a World Map

Ticket to Ride: Around the World is a new installment in the popular Ticket to Ride series, taking players on a journey across the globe, combining both rail and sea travel. The game features a double-sided map that allows players to travel around the world or explore the Great Lakes of North America, introducing new mechanics and challenges that will surprise even the most experienced players.

Game Rules:

1. Game Setup:

   - At the start of the game, each player receives a set of ticket cards. Tickets are the goals the players will aim to complete, indicating the cities they need to connect.
   - The game is played on a double-sided map – one side represents the entire world, while the other features the Great Lakes of North America.
   - Players also receive colored train and ship cards, which they will use to build their routes.

2. Gameplay: During their turn, a player can perform one of the following actions:

   - Draw train or ship cards – The player can draw cards from the deck to collect colored train (rail connections) or ship (sea connections) cards.
   - Build a route – To connect cities on their ticket cards, the player plays the appropriate number of cards in the color matching the section of the map. The routes can be rail or sea, and some routes combine both types of connections.
   - Build a port – In this version of the game, players can build ports, earning additional victory points.

3. Ticket Completion:

   - Tickets represent destinations, specifying a start city and a destination city. Players must connect these cities with an uninterrupted route, using either rail, sea, or a combination of both types of connections.
   - A new feature in this version is tickets that specify more than two cities. Players earn additional points for connecting all the cities indicated on the ticket.

4. Scoring:

   - Players earn points for completing tickets and for building ports.
   - The point value for completing a ticket depends on the length of the route (the longer the route, the more points).
   - Ports provide extra points, which could determine the winner of the game.

5. End of the Game:

   - The game ends when a player has completed all of their tickets or when there are no more cards to draw.
   - At the end of the game, players count the points for their completed tickets and ports. The player with the highest score wins the game.
