About this game

The Ticket to Ride family goes global, adding ships alongside trains to connect routes across oceans and continents. Rails & Sails features two double-sided maps, a harbor system for switching between rail and sea cards, and longer routes that span the entire world. The ship cards add a new resource management layer without losing the accessible charm that makes Ticket to Ride a gateway classic. The Great Lakes map offers a tighter, more competitive experience.
