Ticket to Ride: London

Ticket to Ride: London invites you to hop aboard the iconic red double-decker buses and embark on a whirlwind journey through the bustling streets of 1970s London. Designed by Alan R. Moon and published by Days of Wonder, this streamlined edition of the beloved Ticket to Ride series offers a fast-paced, accessible experience that captures the charm and excitement of the British capital.

Perfect for 2 to 4 players aged 8 and up, Ticket to Ride: London is an excellent choice for families, newcomers, or seasoned gamers looking for a quick yet engaging challenge. With a playtime of just 10 to 15 minutes per game, it’s ideal for filling a short break or as a light interlude between longer gaming sessions.

In this standalone game, you take on the role of a transport manager tasked with connecting famous London landmarks via bus routes. At the start of each game, players receive secret destination tickets that specify which locations they must link together. Throughout the game, you’ll collect colorful transportation cards and use them to claim routes on the vibrant map of London. Every decision counts—will you gather more cards, claim crucial routes before your rivals, or draw new destination tickets in pursuit of extra points?

The gameplay is brisk yet filled with tactical choices. You’ll need to keep an eye on your opponents’ moves and anticipate their strategies as you race to complete your own objectives. Points are awarded for completed destination tickets, the length of routes claimed, and for connecting specific districts within the city. The player with the highest score at the end emerges as the master of London’s transport network.

Ticket to Ride: London is part of the acclaimed “city series” within the Ticket to Ride family. This series distills the classic gameplay into compact, city-focused editions that offer all the strategic depth in a fraction of the time. Instead of building railways across continents, you’ll be weaving intricate networks through iconic urban landscapes—here, it’s all about buses and boroughs rather than trains and tracks.

The rules are elegantly simple and can be learned in just a few minutes, making this game highly accessible without sacrificing replayability or depth. Whether you’re introducing new players to modern board gaming or seeking a portable version of Ticket to Ride for travel or gatherings, Ticket to Ride: London delivers hours of fun in a compact package.
