Ticket to Ride: Ghost Train Board Game

Number of Player: 2-4 Recommended Age: 6+ Ticket to Ride: Ghost Train takes the gameplay of the Ticket to Ride series and scales it down for a younger audience. In general, players collect parade float cards, claim routes on the map, and try to connect locations such as the Mad Scientist #39;s Lab, the Gingerbread House, and the Lonely Barn that are shown on their tickets. In more detail, the game board shows a map of a city with certain locations being connected by colored paths. Each player starts with four colored parade float cards in hand and two tickets; each ticket shows two locations, and you #39;re trying to connect those two locations with a contiguous path of your trains in order to complete the ticket. On a turn, you either draw two parade float cards from the deck or discard parade float cards to claim a route between two locations by placing your ghost trains on it; for this latter option, you must discard cards matching the color and number of spaces on that route (e.g., two yellow cards for a yellow route that #39;s two spaces long). If you connect the two locations shown on a ticket with a path of your trains, reveal the ticket, place it face up in front of you, then draw a new ticket. (If you can #39;t connect locations on either ticket because the paths are blocked, you can take your entire turn to discard those tickets and draw two new ones.) If you create a route all the way from the Dark Forest region to the Seashore region, you collect the #34;trick or treat #34; bonus.
