Ticket to Ride: Amsterdam

Ticket to Ride: Amsterdam is a great addition to the Ticket to Ride family, offering a quick and engaging experience with a beautiful map of 17th-century Amsterdam. As a fan of the Ticket to Ride games, I was excited to try this smaller version, promising a game that could be completed in just 15 minutes.

The gameplay is familiar to other Ticket to Ride games, focusing on collecting cards, claiming routes, and drawing tickets. The core mechanics remain the same, but the smaller scale and the focus on the Amsterdam market make it feel fresh and unique. I particularly enjoyed the addition of merchandise bonus cards, adding another layer of strategy to the game.

The game components are well-made and the artwork is charming. The board is smaller than the traditional Ticket to Ride boards, but this is perfect for a quick and easy game. I found the game to be very portable and easy to set up and tear down.

I found Ticket to Ride: Amsterdam to be a perfect game for a quick session or as a gateway game for new players. It's also a great alternative for those who enjoy the Ticket to Ride games but don't have time for the longer games.

Overall, Ticket to Ride: Amsterdam is a fun and engaging game that I would highly recommend to anyone who enjoys the Ticket to Ride series or is looking for a quick and easy board game to play with friends and family. I'm already looking forward to trying other city-themed Ticket to Ride games!
