October 2, 1900 - 28 years to the day that noted London
eccentric, Phileas Fogg accepted and then won a £20,000 bet that he could
travel "Around the World in 80 Days". Now at the dawn of the
century it was time for a new "impossible journey". Some old
friends have gathered to celebrate Fogg's impetuous and lucrative gamble -
and to propose a new wager of their own.
The stakes: $1 Million in a winner-takes-all competition. The
objective: to see which of them can travel by rail to the most cities in
North America - in just 7 days. The journey begins immediately...
Ticket to Ride is a cross-country train adventure where players
collect cards of various types of train cars that enable them to claim
railway routes connecting cities throughout North America.
