I LOVE LOVE LOVE the game Ticket to Ride! If you're looking for a fun thing to do at night while your husband's TV shows (like Deadly Catch or Top Gear) play in the background, Ticket to Ride is the game for you. Of course you could play with your whole family at the kitchen table (I prefer UNO or Phase 10) but I absolutely recommend the online version due to it's sheer speed and the ability to enjoy the comfort of my own bed.
The premise of this game is to connect your trains to a series of destinations all having their own point value. If you are unable to connect to one of your locations, you get the negative value of that destination. If you have the most trains in a row, you get bonus points. The winner is the lucky one with the highest point value at the end of the game.
The online version, which you can get here, sells for $9.99 for regular computers or $6.99 for the ipad. For an additional $4.99, you can get the 1910 edition. The 1910 version is my particular favorite.
If you've played this board game already, be prepared to sell it on ebay for $24.00 after playing the online version. (That's what I got for mine. Really.) You'll never be able to play the slow board game version again!
Now go get yourself registered for Ticket to Ride online and never watch another entire episode of Top Shot again! Yay!
(Beware: it can be addicting.)
I love playing online because you can tell the slow players to hurry up and you do not have to see them face to face.
