Improving

Writing to say that I was going to give it three out of five stars as an improved score from my first rating when it opened up. I changed my rating to a four star due to the significant improvements in the development of this game. With that said, I am writing the review now because my game shows that I have two games out there that are just spinning as if I was the only player out there. I was in the midst of playing a four person online game and only my name was on the screen INI like it does when you’re seeing who gets to go first. Hopefully this is going to be fixed soon because I am now enjoying the game again. I am still having difficulty with the colors on the screen and have a hard time seeing where trains are put down on the colored tracks. It would be nice if the tracks were pastel with the trains being brighter, perhaps? The light wave that goes through the trains makes it even harder to distinguish so if I’m glancing over the board and a wave was going over it sometimes I have thought that the train wasn’t there and then when I look back it is, I am not sure if that is necessary and it does not enhance the game. I am happy to be able to play competitively against other people again and to see the European board up.

They fixed it right!!!

I’m a long time fan of the board game and own almost every expansion. I wanted so bad to get it for tablet, but held off due to all the reviews saying the graphics were painful and the turn prompter infuriating. Well, I finally downloaded this based on the latest reviews saying all that was fixed, and I’m here to confirm it’s true! This app is now everything a board game port should be — faithful to the original in appearance and style, with added QOL features that only a digital version can provide. The game looks beautiful, plays fast and flawlessly, and allows the player to choose the map, the ruleset, the route set, even the look of your train pieces! I was overjoyed to find my favorite maps already available, including Nordic, India, and Europe (all card sets). Even the original U.S. map, which was ugly as sin in the board game, is alive and pretty here. Most of all, the app absolutely delivers the board game experience, with frosting on top 😊 And that includes single player. It is genuinely heartwarming to see a developer paying such serious attention to prior complaints and making everything right. Boy, did they. If you love Ticket to Ride, this app has it all. Hesitate to download no more!

Five star! Update after some previous scathing reviews by me.

This app went from the most disappointing launch I’ve ever experienced for gameplay to a real pleasure now. I’ve been playing at my regular pace and enjoy the new leader boards, the gameplay, the visibility, and all the other things I have been complaining about that have now been fixed. I like fast play and I appreciate blitz mode with the functional countdown timer clock. If you were one of the early adopters and were highly disappointed, I would suggest trying the game again. I would have given this game negative stars if it were possible at launch. For me, I can put up with a few gameplay glitches or some additions that get bugs worked out of a new release. But when this game was first launched, the colors were so terrible, actually the whole graphics scheme was awful, that it made the game incredibly painful to play. and the game was not pleasant to navigate on iPad. There had been touchscreen issues, zooming issues many other broken things. The game developer has worked to answer all of the objections. Thank you! thank you!

Started smoothly….

Let me start by saying how much that both myself and my fiancé love this game. I previously owned the other one 2 years ago but that was discontinued. Recently we downloaded this version and bought the expansion packs that were available . We normally play against each other and really enjoy this as kinda “quiet time “ with one another enjoying each others company . These past two days when playing against one another the game has frozen and booted me from the game. I had originally thought that it may be a WiFi issue so I disconnected WiFi and proceeded to go back to the game utilizing the “my games” tab. That seemed to temporarily fix it however it happened again when not on WiFi. The issue that prompted me to write this was that after an additional hour of play my fiancé had the same issue. Any ideas why this happened? At the very least I felt that I should alert you in case that it’s an ongoing issue. I would also like to see additional expansion other than the two that I have purchased. Thank you, Allen Hill

Hard to look at, hoping for an accessible update

I downloaded this app as a replacement for another Ticket to Ride app that closed its servers today. I enjoyed that app because the colors were not super saturated and were easy to look at. This app is very hard for me to play and results in a migraine after playing just one game. I understand that bright colors and animations can keep some players attention but I would suggest that the developers add an accessibility switch in the settings if they are not going to change the regular game. Toggling this switch would lower the saturation of the cards and the board and disable the animations on the board. I would also have it disable the round animations when a route is complete, and limit the change in average value of the screen when train cars are being placed. I think most players understand which routes are playable with the cards they have and do not need the entire screen to darken except for the routes they can play. I am interested in purchasing and playing all of the map expansions, however it seems like a bad investment unless the app is changed to make it possible for me to play. I would be happy to provide more specific feedback to the developers if it is desired.

Such a disappointment

I was so excited for the new version of this game to come out, because the old version stopped working on my phone. The new version is such a disappointment. First of all let’s start with the fact that I have been kicked out of games multiple times and unable to rejoin. When I attempt to rejoin all I see is the map of the US. I was playing a game, and my sister was one of the other players, after multiple attempts to rejoin the game, I finally officially quit the game. The game continued waiting, after I quit, for me to take my turn. Then there are the many times that the game has just frozen. Now let’s talk about the game itself. Why isn’t there a clock? There is a time limit on the game, but no clock to tell players how much time is left in each players time. This is an important aspect of the game. Then there is the board. You can barely tell when someone places trains down, if they place a train down of the same color as the line. It makes it very confusing and difficult at times. Overall this version of the game is awful and I’m not sure why anyone would want to buy it until the bugs have been worked out. Honestly there was nothing’s wrong with the old version, so I’m not sure why the need for a new one except to make more money.

Please place ticket pointer above my finger

Definitely quite a bit of work to get back to where we were with the old app, but hopefully we’ll get there soon. Top annoyances: (1) Colors still not the right contrast. In the old app I can tell immediately what’s a train car and what’s track of a given color. Hard to make out at a glance for almost all the colors. Shadows or skews or better colors or all would help. (2) No 1910 for usa. There’s a reason 1910 is popular. The base game does not encourage destination draws. (3) If I press on a train card in my hand and drag it, why on earth would the pointer be under my finger?? You need to offset to a reasonable vertical position. I can’t see where I’m placing it. Do you even test it yourselves? (4) Would be nice for the score summary to show which bonuses applied for each player. (5) This might be the biggest one and what prevents me from telling any of my friends to get it: offline (wifi/bluetooth) mode. We like to get together and play from our devices. I guess we will keep using the old app for now for that. No reason to get this new one. Plus we have all the maps in Classic.

I wish someone could get it right!

I had the original Ticket to Ride, which became Ticket to Ride Classic, which is now obsolete. Towards the end of the lifespan of that particular game, it became so glitchy that you could never make it through an entire game without freezing up or being booted out a bunch of times. Unfortunately, whoever took over and started the new app has not figured out how to fix that problem. This game continues to be just as glitchy, and continues to freeze up and kick you out constantly. In addition, this particular version of the app does not have some of the best features of the previous version. There is no rating/ranking system. I am getting used to the pastel colors that others have commented on. If you can ever actually get a game to make it to completion, it is a fun game (if you like the board game.) But unfortunately that almost never happens in online play. I cannot figure out why developers cannot figure this particular game out. There are billions of apps of different games and most of them work on a fairly consistent basis. This one does not work… which is frustrating because it has potential!
