Ticket to Ride Legacy: Legends of the West review

Ticket to Ride: Legends of the West is a truly unique experience, unlike any other Ticket to Ride game I've played. The legacy style campaign takes players on a 12-game journey across North America as 19th-century pioneers. It's a thrilling adventure filled with unexpected twists and turns, from encounters with railroad tycoons and ghosts to searching for lost treasures and avoiding ghostly curses.

The campaign starts on the East Coast and progresses westward, with each game introducing new rules, content, and surprises. The best part is that your choices actually shape the story, making each playthrough a unique experience.

One of the things I loved most about this game is the sense of progression. As you unlock new regions, you'll build a custom Ticket to Ride game that you can continue to play for years to come. This is a great way to personalize the experience and make the game feel truly your own.

The game does require a large table, as it's bigger than Rails & Sails. I recommend checking out reviews that mention the size of the table they played on. It took me and my daughter three days to complete the campaign, which is a significant time commitment. However, it's a very engaging and immersive experience that will have you wanting to see what's coming next.

Overall, I highly recommend Ticket to Ride: Legends of the West to any fan of Ticket to Ride or legacy board games. It's a great game for families and groups of friends, and it's sure to provide hours of fun and excitement.
