Board Games 5: Ticket to Ride

I cannot speak highly enough of this game!!! It is AWESOME fun to play. Again it is only takes 5 minutes to learn the rules. Essentially you have to collect train cards and then connect train routes before your opponent. This is the North American version (the original game) and we now have a clear idea of where certain cities are located! It is a game of luck and timing. We have purchased the expansion kit to make it a little more exciting. If you know someone with this game, invite them over for lunch (and ask them to bring the game!)
