Our Take
A streamlined, city-specific version of the classic Ticket to Ride franchise, set across London's bus routes rather than cross-country railways. Designed for 2–4 players, it plays in around 15–20 minutes, making it firmly a gateway or filler game. It sits below the full Ticket to Ride experience in scope and complexity, but works well as an accessible introduction or quick-play alternative.
Key Features
Plays in approximately 15–20 minutes, significantly shorter than standard Ticket to Ride
Supports 2–4 players, recommended for ages 8 and up
Board depicts central London's historic bus network rather than a national rail map
Includes double-decker bus route cards, destination tickets, and a compact playing board
Players collect coloured bus cards to claim routes across London districts
District majority scoring adds a layer beyond the base Ticket to Ride formula
Our Verdict
A solid buy for families wanting a quick, low-commitment introduction to the Ticket to Ride series, or for commuters after a compact travel game. Dedicated board gamers or those who already own a full Ticket to Ride title are unlikely to find enough depth here to justify the purchase.
