About the game
What you do in a play session
Get ready for a charming ride through 1920s Paris! In Ticket to Ride: Paris, you'll embark on a quick adventure through the City of Light, connecting iconic landmarks like the Eiffel Tower and the Champs-Élysées. This installment of the acclaimed Ticket to Ride series is perfect for those who want a dose of strategy without spending hours at the table, ideal for families and casual gamers.
The game retains the essence everyone loves: collecting colorful transportation cards to claim routes on the board. But pay attention, there's a special twist here! When you claim blue, white, or red routes, you keep one card of that color – a small bonus to help you form the "French flag" (one card of each color). This combination earns you extra points, so keep an eye out for opportunities!
The goal is simple: complete your destination tickets, connecting two specific points on the Paris map. Each completed route brings you closer to victory, but beware of unfulfilled routes, which can cost precious points at the end. And when a player is down to their last few buses, it's time for a final strategic push to secure the maximum score. With games lasting around 15 minutes, it guarantees fun for everyone, whether it's during Sunday lunch or a quick break during the week. It's the Ticket to Ride you know, but with Parisian charm and a fast-paced rhythm!
