Ticket to Ride - Train Game Reviews

It’s a fantastic game

FyreFestivus

But the reason I’m only giving it 3 stars is because you’re held hostage to a player who decides to not play anymore and the game comes to a halt for 15 minutes. This is annoying and has basically deterred me from wanting to play this game any longer. It happens every game. We need an option to kick players out of games. This is ridiculous.

Love game however

Recently it will not let me log into my account. I hit log in and it asks for email. I put email then it does nothing. Anyone else having this issue

Can’t Log In

I’m obsessed with the app for one of my favorite games! Until recently that is. Not sure if the recent update for apple is what is causing the glitch for the app but out of nowhere I was logged out of my app and when trying to log back in the app freezes.

Used to love playing this but for some reason, I have been logged out and the app won’t let me log back in. Ugh!!!

What is going on here?

I bought this app because the version i had (TTR Europe) told me it needed to be updated to support iOS 11 and TTF Europe was no longer available stand alone. I have 2 devices I use and one has been updated to iOS 11 and it will not install the app on the iPad because it is not compatible. it works fine on my device running iOS 10

Luv the board game, hate the app

Update: yet another issue has surfaced. This latest update Nov2017 has now resulted in an active Germany game being crossed with a UK Advanced game. 4 players are well into a Germany game, each with different times remaining. After the update, our Germany game disappeared and a UK Advanced game appeared with the exact same 4 players and the exact same time remaining as in the Germany game (we could tell because 1 person didn’t update TTR on one device and did the comparison). None of us bought the UK Advanced version and when we open it (it has a notification that it is each of our turns) to supposedly take our turn, it crashes TTR completely. So we have lost the ability to play yet another game. How many times do we have to put up with buggy software that we actually paid for? And, where is the company’s customer service? The TTR app is deeply disappointing. I do not recommend paying money for it. App bugs ruin the fun. Lack of responsive support is infuriating. I was in 7 different games, all different maps with different players. All in different states of play. One morning I had notifications it was my turn but when I went to play ALL of my games were gone. My friends all said I was still in the games and they couldn’t take a turn because they were waiting on me. After trying many many things over the course of a couple of weeks, my friends all had to withdraw and then start over. I contacted support and they said it was a problem on their end and never heard any more despite me reaching out many times. Gave up. Started new games and now in one game I’ve turned into a bot with 9+ days still left. I can’t believe I paid $$ for all these games. Responsive Customer service would go a long way to upping the stars on this review even with the buggy software.

Good for New Players, but OK for all others

What is Ticket to Ride? If you’re not familiar with Ticket to Ride, it’s a modern classic in tabletop games. Forget Monopoly, Life, Sorry, and Clue. There’s a new era of games, and TTR has sold over 3 Million Copies — and for good reason. It’s a great game. If You’ve Never Played Ticket to Ride - the App is a great introduction to the gameplay. It gives you a good overview of the game, and there are several maps to purchase as IAP. If you HAVE played Ticket to Ride - the App is OK. The AI’s are generally predictable, and the development team seems to be more excited about putting together more maps than updating the AI, or improving the servers for those who like to play online. Further Thoughts: Remember when iTunes was first released? It was amazing. A music-software with a store where you could purchase music. Fast forward many years, and Apple has added feature upon feature upon feature to a base-code that wasn’t intended to be what it is today. It does what it does OK, but it’s not at all great. Such is the Ticket to Ride app. When it was first released, it was one of the best (if not the best) modern gaming apps available on iOS. It expanded to other platforms. And expanded with more expansions/maps. And expanded some more, and some more, and some more. As a result, it’s “OK” at what it does, but it’s not great. In the same way Days of Wonder made a “Small World 2” app, it’s time for a Ticket to Ride 2 app. Having it redesigned and rebuilt from the ground up is a tall order, for sure. But for those with any decent amount of TTR playing experience, the App experience is only getting worse. So if you’re new to TTR, it’s worth getting the app. Really, it is. But for those with a good bit of TTR experience, the app is OK, and needs some pretty serious tweaking to make it an app that you’ll go to regularly. With Better AI’s, better servers with cross-platform play, etc., TTR could take the top spot in modern tabletop game apps once again.
