About the game
Hey everyone, who's ever wished for a Ticket to Ride adventure without leaving the comfort of their home? Well, "Stay at Home" is here for that! Created back in 2020, during the peak of "staying in," this free expansion (yes, print-and-play!) invites you to turn your own house into a giant game board. Forget world maps; now you'll connect routes between the sofa, the kitchen, and the bedroom, completing your destination tickets with whatever's around. It's the perfect chance to gather the family for a quick and fun game, using pieces from any of the classic Ticket to Ride versions (Europe, Germany, Nordic Countries, or the original). The gameplay is the same one we love: card collecting, route building, and that race to see who completes more objectives. It's a great option for those who want more Ticket to Ride without the hassle, especially if you already own the base game and enjoy the idea of a more thematic and home-based experience. It's TTR with a touch of "real life"!
