Ticket To Ride: Dice Game Review

Ticket To Ride: Dice Game

Got the dice expansion pack and played Ticket to Ride with the Dice. The group of people I played with, myself included, all agreed that the dice expansion pack make the game easier and faster, but not as fun as with playing with the TTR colored train cards. We want to create a few house rules to implement the dice portion into regular play.

This expansion for the Ticket to Ride boardgame will have you rolling your way to victory! It is compatible with any Ticket to Ride board map. Players still try to complete their Destination Tickets by claiming routes while blocking each other on the map, but instead of drawing Train cards, they roll the five custom Train dice on each turn. They can then use the dice to claim routes, collect Route Tokens to be used later in the game, or draw more Destination Tickets. Three Tunnel dice are included for board maps that have Tunnel routes.
Please note: This is not a stand-alone game. This expansion requires trains, Destination Tickets and a board map from any of the Ticket to Ride boardgame series.

Ticket To Ride 1910 Expansion Review

Ticket To Ride 1910 Expansion

(More customer reviews)
The Ticket to Ride 1910 Expansion (TTR 1910) is an expansion for the basic Ticket to Ride game only. The expansion is great in that it adds game play options as well as improves the basic comfort of the game itself. Some game expansions are just a way to get you to spend more money on a game you already own without adding a lot to game play. TTR 1910 is worth the investment. It adds fun and convenience to an already great game.
TTR 1910 significantly increases the number of destination tickets available adding 35 new long and short haul routes to the game. The new routes are fun and varied, and allow each player to customize his or her strategy around certain city connections.
Also included are four cards from the out of print "Mystery Train Expansion." These cards are for very short routes and are low scoring. They don't add much to the game play.
The expanded rules offer instructions for different game variations that focus on big cities, the new 1910 destinations, or the Mega Game featuring all 65 destination tickets in the box. We tend to stick with the Mega Game for large groups, but for games with fewer players the other variations make for new and fun experiences. We really enjoy the opportunity to develop new game play strategies.
There's also a new 15 point bonus card to reward the player who completes the most routes. This is a nice addition to the game.
In addition to improved game play, the expansion cards are now the same size as regulation playing cards making them significantly easier to hold and play. You get reprints of all of the cards included with the original game so you don't have to mix the cards or choose between the original set or the expansion. For my friends and I, this was a significant improvement over the tiny set that came with the original game.
You might also consider picking up a GLD Pitboss 55-0112 Four Deck Card Shuffler. You'll go through the cards pretty quickly and the shuffler keeps things moving.

Thomas And Friends Wooden Railway - Figure 8 Set Expansion Pack Review

Thomas And Friends Wooden Railway - Figure 8 Set Expansion Pack
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I purchased this expansion set, along with the Thomas and Friends Water Towr Figure 8 Set, for my 2 year old this past Christmas. The expansion set was an afterthought, prompted in no small part by the manufacturer's promotion running at the time (50% off this set with the purchase of a Figure 8 set).
With the conclusion of many initial hours of intense playtesting (an ongoing process, with no termination in sight), my son agrees that this is an essential choice for any but the most basic (read: boring) wooden railroad layout. This expansion pack comes with switch tracks, and allows little train engineers (and their dads) to reverse directions or explore different parts of the railway. In retrospect, I think that I would have been dissatisfied had I not purchased this set to complement the basic Figure 8 layout, promotional price or not.
As far as the quality, the Learning Curve wooden track is made from hardwood, and is more substantial than many other brands of compatible track (i.e. Maxim, First Learning, etc.). This is a consideration when your child insists on taking the track apart by him/herself to put away. We have already broken a couple of pieces of generic track this way, since the male end of the connectors is a bit weaker than the rest of the track.
Overall, we are quite satisfied with this set, and look forward to many more hours of enjoyment.

Now you don't have to buy seperate pieces of track and wrack your brain to make a complete layout.With this set you can transform any Figure 8 Set into a larger configuration with even more twists and turns.
