You see, as an incurably hopeless, wish-upon-a-star daydreamer, when my first baby boy came into my life, I swiftly realised that being the parent you thought you would be, and creating family memories to treasure in the way you imagined before your baby was born is a real challenge.Ĭhildhood is gone in the blink of an eye and I wanted to enjoy every moment I could and make it as fun as possible. I’m so happy you’re here!Īs an exhausted mom to 3 beautiful boys aged 5-11, Keep Up With the Jones Family began as a family blog and turned into my passion. You can be as competitive as you like – it’s not a game which is directly competitive by nature – you can choose to be kind and not hinder each other, or if you’re like me and Gav, you can wage all-out railroad war. It’s a game that can be learned within a few minutes and nearly everyone in the family can play with a little encouragement. The rules for Ticket to Ride: Europe are simple, but there’s so much to think about and juggle in your mind. It’s a strategic game in that you need a plan to connect your far-flung cities to gain the points from the big ticket – and tactical in that when things go wrong, you need to be able to change your plans swiftly as your plans become scuppered by your opponent. It’s also brilliant fun trying to work out which tickets your opponent has in order to try and block them or make life difficult for them. The competitive nature of the game – trying not to let on where you’re planning to go is quite hilarious. WHAT WE LOVE ABOUT TICKET TO RIDE: EUROPE You conversely lose points for those tickets which you’ve not completed. Points are scored for the amount of carriages laid on any given turn and at the end of the game for any train tickets which have been completed. There are various coloured cards and rainbow cards which are “Locomotive” cards and special – these can be used as any colour and on specially designated locomotive places on the board. This is done by being dealt said secret tickets, and then collecting the appropriate coloured train cards in the amount needed to make each connection and laying them before your opponent realises and tries to sabotage your attempts. The aim of Ticket to Ride is to complete as many secret train tickets, detailing routes across the map of Europe. 1 Game Board Map with European train routes.It’s a grown-up version of the First Journey Game, with a few differences.Ĭlick here for our Toy Review Catalogue to read our reviews before you buy!
