Our Take
A streamlined city-specific spin-off of the classic Ticket to Ride franchise, set on London's bus and tram routes. Players collect coloured tickets to claim routes across an iconic map of the capital. Aimed at families and casual gamers, it plays faster than the original and fits neatly into the gateway-game market alongside titles like Azul and Carcassonne.
Key Features
Plays in approximately 10–15 minutes, significantly shorter than the original Ticket to Ride
Supports 2–4 players, suitable for ages 8 and above
Uses a compact London map featuring recognisable districts such as Westminster, Soho, and Greenwich
Introduces a Districts scoring mechanic, rewarding players who connect multiple areas of the same colour
Card-drafting and route-claiming mechanics remain familiar to fans of the main series
Box is noticeably smaller than standard editions, making it portable and shelf-friendly
Our Verdict
A solid buy for families wanting a brief, approachable introduction to Ticket to Ride, or as a travel-friendly companion to the main game. Dedicated hobbyist gamers or those seeking a meatier challenge should look at the full Europe or original editions instead.
