Ticket to Ride: Ghost Train (Board Game)

Ticket to Ride: Ghost Train takes the gameplay of the Ticket to Ride seriesand scales it down for a younger audience.

In general, players collect parade float cards, claim routes on the map, andtry to connect locations such as the Mad Scientist’s Lab, the GingerbreadHouse, and the Lonely Barn that are shown on their tickets. In more detail, thegame board shows a map of a city with certain locations being connected bycolored paths. Each player starts with four colored parade float cards in handand two tickets; each ticket shows two locations, and you’re trying to connectthose two locations with a contiguous path of your trains in order to completethe ticket.

On a turn, you either draw two parade float cards from the deck or discardparade float cards to claim a route between two locations by placing your ghosttrains on it; for this latter option, you must discard cards matching the colorand number of spaces on that route (e.g., two yellow cards for a yellow routethat’s two spaces long). If you connect the two locations shown on a ticketwith a path of your trains, reveal the ticket, place it face up in front of you,then draw a new ticket. (If you can’t connect locations on either ticket becausethe paths are blocked, you can take your entire turn to discard those ticketsand draw two new ones.)

If you create a route all the way from the Dark Forest region to the Seashoreregion, you collect the trick or treat bonus.
