Ticket to Ride: Europe - Changing Luck and Strategy

Рет қаралды 18,311

Today I take a deep look into Ticket to Ride Europe. Mostly I compare it to the American Ticket to Ride map to see how it holds up. The game is different than the game that came before it in many ways. Mostly changing where the luck and strategy of the game is in the game. Europe has many more life lines than America, which is a turn off for some people. However, I believe in some ways it makes the game a bit better.
Enjoy!

Big fan of the editing you have going on this video. It probably takes a lot of work, but it makes the video a lot stronger as a whole. Haven't played Ticket to Ride in some time, but this makes me want to give it a try again. Though if I could offer a recommendation, I'd say switch off of the saturated cyan color you're using for the backgrounds. Maybe give black or white a try? They probably seem like obvious choices, but they're nice and simple and less overbearing, which I think backgrounds should be. And maybe experiment with some custom fonts as well to go along with it. Just want to make sure the visuals match the quality of your reviews. Anyway, I really like what you're doing here- this is a great and very insightful review. Keep doing what you do.

Thanks Tim 😊 yeah I don't particularly like black I think it looks a little lazy, but I'll try something new out. And I definitely need a new font LOL. Thanks for looking at this video so in depth. I put a lot into it :)

This was a great video and analysis. Thanks so much for the level of detail and interest you put into it. We have a house rule when we play this map, to only penalize players one extra card when they draw a matching color card or cards, on the tunnel test. This makes the game so much less stressful and fun.

I dig that rule! I'll have to try it out. Thanks for watching :)

Me and my friends were super confused on how many routes we had to keep at the beginning, we’ve been keeping every route we’re dealt at the start, thanks for the help king 👑

I've only tried America but Europe sounds more fun based on this video. I loved watching as always, and now I have notifications turned on

I like ferries and the way long routes work in Europe but really dislike the push-your-luck tunnel mechanic and stations (much prefer the way UK and Legacy provide an anti-blocking), so USA for me.

@icaruspandas 5 ай бұрын

Understandable! I like them both but they definitely play a bit more differently than you'd expect. I overall like the board of Europe a bit more than the america one, it feels way more balanced to me. But the cut-throatness of America is definitely an upside.

Awesome review my dude. Definitely agree with your points regarding the mechanical changes. I think it adds some interesting depth to the game that the original lacked (no shade on the original though). Excited to see more games end up on your tier list in the future and see where some games land. Is S tier actually Small World tier?

@icaruspandas 4 жыл бұрын

Well this tier list is just for ticket to Ride but if smallworld was on it would certainly reign supreme in a tier of it's own.

When I played it one time, we kept all 4 routes we were dealt but could exchanhe some, is this some kind of variation rule or is it simply wrong

Can one play T2R Europe and simply leave out the Station mechanic?

@icaruspandas 4 жыл бұрын

I suppose it's worth a try, I think for three players not having them could cause a huge problem, since all the doubles become singles. In four players not using them I think could work hypothetically.

My bad haha I definitely miss-pronounce a few cities in this video. I think I do a better job in future videos looking up city names and pronunciation before recording. Sorry about that!
