We are big fans of TTR and have a few different versions. Our almost 6yo can play these without a lot of help. We bought this so our two kids could play together and to teach our younger child to play on his own. He picked it up easily given he already knew the basic idea of how to play. Playing without collecting points for routes is surprisingly fun. It's a straightforward and fun game, great to introduce younger player to the concept. We've enjoyed playing as a family and the two kids (5 and 10) can play on their own too.
Ticket to Ride: First Journey takes the gameplay of the Ticket to Ride series and scales it down for a younger audience.
Now the whole family can enjoy the classic, award-winning Ticket to Ride. Build routes while seeing major monuments throughout North America.
In general, players collect train cards, claim routes on the map, and try to connect the cities shown on their tickets. In more detail, the game board shows a map of the United States with certain cities being connected by coloured paths. Each player starts with four coloured train cards in hand and two tickets; each ticket shows two cities, and you're trying to connect those two cities with a contiguous path of your trains in order to complete the ticket.
