Ticket to Ride: Ghost Train

In Fall’s spirit of changing colors, pumpkin patches and hollow trees, this young version of Ticket to Ride challenges players to claim train routes, place trains and complete tickets when they connect two locations depicted on them. Visit the Gingerbread House and take a ride through the Deserted School to end a route at the Town Hall or start at the Haunted Mansion, travelling through the Old Mine and Fishing Wharf to complete a route to the Foggy Lighthouse.  The Ghost Train is a fun, mysterious tour through a somewhat spooky world of the late fall season.

Each player begins with four colored parade float cards, which match colors on the main board’s train routes and two tickets with locations to connect with one of their trains. On a turn, players choose to either draw two parade float cards or discard cards matching the number of corresponding colors to claim a route between two locations and place their ghost train cars on it.  If they cannot connect locations on either of the tickets in their hand because all routes are blocked, they can draw two new tickets.

As a bonus, if a player creates a route all the way from the Dark Forest region to the Seashore region, they collect a "trick or treat" ticket which counts as an additional completed ticket.

The game ends when a player either completes six tickets or runs out of train cars. The player with the most completed tickets wins the game!  For 2-4 players with a 15 to 30-minute travel time.
