Ticket to Ride London Board Game by Days of Wonder
Board Games & Puzzles
View on AmazonOur 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.
