Ticket to Ride

Evan has always been into kids boardgames ("Fish sticks", "Hoot owl hoot", "Stone soup" to name a few).  Recently we introduced him to a "grown up" game - "Ticket to Ride", and with his obsession with trains it's no surprise that it was a big hit!

We play with a few modified rules that make it more kid friendly:
  • Face up all cards 
  • Can always build 2 routes if the map shows it (even in <= 3 player game)

It's interesting to see that just after a couple of games Evan started developing his own strategy: choose the long destination cards (21+ points) and build using long segments (6+ lengths).

Another awesome side benefit: 2 digit addition is now piece of cake :)
