Ticket to Ride
My husband and I LOVE to play all the Ticket to Ride games, but this is the one that started it all. It is so easy to learn and play that every time we are introduced to new people who want to play games with us, this is the game we play to teach them how much fun board games can be. We have probably introduced over 50 people and now they all love it as much as we do! We even gave one bride and groom the game as a wedding present. They tell us it was the BEST gift they received. Ticket to Ride is perfect for young or old, never-played-a-game-ever or serious gamers. The game mechanics are just super easy to grasp. The only real challenge in teaching the game: a few first-timers have thought that the only routes they can claim are the actual color of their train pieces (if they have yellow train pieces, they think they can only claim yellow routes). So we always make it a point to tell new players that this is not the case. If you have never tried the game I would highly recommend it!
