Our Take

A compact, standalone city-building version of the classic Ticket to Ride series, set across London's bus routes rather than railway lines. Players collect coloured cards to claim routes and complete destination tickets across the capital. Designed for 2–4 players and aimed at families and casual gamers, it plays noticeably faster than the original, making it an accessible entry point or a quick-play companion piece.

Key Features

Plays in approximately 15–20 minutes, significantly shorter than standard Ticket to Ride

Supports 2–4 players, recommended for ages 8 and above

Uses double-decker bus route mechanics unique to the London map

Includes a Borough scoring system rewarding players for completing whole districts

Compact box size makes it genuinely portable for travel or smaller homes

Card artwork and board feature recognisable London landmarks and neighbourhoods

Our Verdict

A sensible buy for families wanting a shorter, lighter introduction to the Ticket to Ride formula, or for fans who want a quick filler game on the side. Dedicated strategy gamers or those already owning full Ticket to Ride titles may find it lacks the depth to justify the cost.

What We Like

  • Punchy play time makes it feasible on a weekday evening or as a warm-up game
  • Lower complexity lowers the barrier for younger players or non-gamers
  • London theme is well-executed and adds genuine local charm beyond surface decoration

Things to Consider

  • Experienced Ticket to Ride players may find it too shallow for regular play
  • Fewer routes means less strategic variety and games can feel repetitive after several plays
  • 2-player games in particular can feel thin compared to the 3–4 player experience
  • The smaller component count may feel insubstantial given the retail price point
