In more detail, the game board shows a map of the United States with certain cities being connect by colored paths. Each player starts with four colored train cards in hand and two tickets; each ticket shows two cities, and you're trying to connect those two cities with a contiguous path of your trains in order to complete the ticket.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn a turn, you either draw two train cards from the deck or discard train cards to claim a route between two cities; for this latter option, you must discard cards matching the color and number of spaces on that route (e.g., two yellow cards for a yellow route that's two spaces long). If you connect the two cities shown on a ticket with a path of your trains, reveal the ticket, place it face up in front of you, then draw a new ticket. (If you can't connect cities on either ticket because the paths are blocked, you can take your entire turn to discard those tickets and draw two new ones.)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you connect one of the West Coast cities to one of the East Coast cities with a path of your trains, you immediately claim a Coast-to-Coast ticket.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe first player to complete six tickets wins! Alternatively, if someone has placed all twenty of their trains on the game board, then whoever has completed the most tickets wins!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/article\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/article\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePart of the \u003ca class=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/boardwipe.com\/collections\/ticket-to-ride-series\" title=\"Ticket to Ride Series\"\u003eTicket to Ride series\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/article\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Ticket to Ride","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":31513509920879,"sku":"","price":22.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0272\/5032\/7663\/products\/pic3116341.jpg?v=1603917089","url":"https:\/\/boardwipe.com\/products\/ticket-to-ride-first-journey","provider":"Board Wipe","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
