Ticket to Ride

Friday night, Jake and I played a game we got for Christmas, Ticket to Ride.  It is one of many well-made German board games, and it has won numerous awards.

Jake and I are both extremely competitive, and we both like to know the score in order to strategize and plot our next move.  While this game gives you some idea of who is in the lead, the final score is ultimately tallied at the conclusion of the game (the outcome can be very surprising sometimes!).  This keeps some of our excessive competitiveness at bay.

Check out who won!


Surprisingly, it was a TIE!  (Hmmm, actually after consulting the rules for a tie-breaker, Jake ended up winning, but it's still nice to think we tied.)

I wholeheartedly recommend this game--it's a sure favorite of mine!
