Read the full game description

Ticket to Ride: London compresses the familiar route-building series into a ten-to-fifteen-minute tour of the capital. Each player receives seventeen double-decker buses and chooses among three actions: draw transport cards, spend a matching set to claim a route, or draw new destination tickets. Completed tickets score while failed connections subtract points, and linking every landmark in a numbered district earns an extra bonus. When a player falls to two buses or fewer, everyone takes one final turn. The small map keeps every card draw relevant and makes contested links feel urgent without losing the welcoming rhythm of Ticket to Ride.
