Ticket to Ride, The Card Game
Ticket to Ride is riding the rails of success in its board game format. It was inevitable that the game would break into the card game format, since at least two-thirds of the game mechanic of the board game is cards.
The small Ticket to Ride, The Card Game (T2R:TCG) box contains 148 illustrated cards. There are 8 different sets of train cards in 10 different colors, including 10 multicolored cards.
