Removing the online play was a ♥♥♥♥♥♥ decision. Loved this game, so fun to play with friends. Won't be buying the new version.

Servers shutting down on April 3.

Taking the online servers down meant that I am uninstalling this game, there's no point!

This might have been a recommended game to play in the past, but Days of Wonders decided to shut down their servers. so the Online Multiplayer isn't available anymore, even if it remains as a feature in their store ("Online PvP"). There's a new half baked Ticket to Ride game in Steam store (Mostly Negative reviews), but I can't recommend software board games anymore. I had the same issue with Carcassonne on iOS, some years back. All of the sudden the game vanished from the store and a "brand new" Carcassonne appeared.

BTW, don't get fooled by the few hours of game I have played on Steam. I've played this game more on iOS and a lot more in real life (the physical versions).

If you're isolated and you need some board games that you only play online, still this game isn't for you because the online feature doesn't work anymore. For other online board games, rather try the browser based versions, they are cheaper and might last longer.

If you're not isolated, then my suggestion is to buy physical board games. They are more expensive than software versions, but they are a long term investment with no dependency on what the company wants to do next. You actually own the physical game. Even if it's "old", it will work a hundred years from now, if you do the due diligence of buying cards sleeves and takings some time to do some cardboard "servicing" from time to time.

If you want a physical Ticket to Ride version, I suggest going for the Anniversary versions, they look much better, especially the wagons, they are built to look more realistic than the brick-like ones in the normal editions. Heck, in the software version of the board game they look like bricks too, even though it is clearly possible to make them look fantastic. The Ticket to Ride 10th Anniversary wasn't re-printed, but the Ticket to Ride Europe 15th Anniversary is still available in shops all around the world, almost three years from release.

I love(d) this game. Helped get me and my friends through a very dark time a few years back when people were literally not sure if they were going to be alive or crippled just next week (and I know enough people who did not make it during that time, "their voices are still heard in every word that we say" -- Jack Strauber). This game also helped me connect with friends in other countries and across my own. For that purpose, it's a tool and part of the reason people have Steam to begin with.

It's a simple game of gaining points connecting routes and making the longest trip. It's great to sit back and enjoy the many variations the game uses.

Unfortunately rhe servers have been taken offline and Online play is unavailable now within this game. Though it'll probably not be implemented, I've a suggestion to Tales of Wonder and Twin Sails Interactive, as well as Asmodee -- because the servers are shutdown doesn't mean Online play should end. Enable players to create their own servers to enjoy this game through, please.

As online servers have been turned off and only single player is possible this is no longer worth a purchase.

Absolute disgraces the servers have been taken down

This was a perfect version of Ticket to Ride to play online, but they've now shut down the servers so it's a waste of money buying it now.

Scammed me by shutting down the server. Literally stolen my money.

Stay away! Servers shut down. Uninstalling.
