Ticket to Ride - Train Game Hack 2.7.11 + Redeem Codes

Whether you're a seasoned Ticket to Ride fan or new to the game, this app is a great way to learn and play TTR. I enjoy playing solo games against the AI bots. It gives me a good chance to practice various strategies and improve my game. Playing against live players can be frustrating because there are a lot of sharks who just want to win, and playing against them is not fun. I will note, that after playing the bots for many years, that they are rather predictable. Some bots will build as many 15 point segments as possible, ignoring their tickets. Many of the bots seem to have a preference for certain routes, and will build them even if they don't have tickets going into those cities. They rarely choose extra tickets. Also, they will collect many more train cards than they'll ever need. However, the game play is pretty realistic and gives good insight into what strategies work well.

A good game but in solo play will you please provide a way to turn off the incredibly annoying constant nagging! Every few seconds a drop down appears, “It’s your turn”, “It’s your turn”, “It’s your turn”, “It’s your turn”. I know it’s my turn! I’d like to be able to take my time to think without the constant bother. And it nags like that about everything. “pick another card”, select some tickets”. Every nag does that annoying slide down every few seconds, it’s almost as annoying as the old HTML blink tag!! Please make it stop!!! If you really feel the need to remind the player of what they already know, at least just put it statically somewhere instead of the constantly super annoying drop down!!!!!

Also, why can’t I pick my own color? Every other game in the world lets me change my player color but with this game I’m stuck with green!

Also, this game desperately needs an undo or a turn confirmation with an option to change your move. Every so often I accidentally lift my finger when the pointer is over the wrong track, something that would never happen in the board game, and having a way to fix that mistake before the game moves on should be provided.

Version 2.6.3 - A new tutorial was added. The old tutorial is gone. The previous tutorial was good at teaching how to play the game. The new tutorial has a floating hand pointing at places. The explanations are not clear on what is happening or what your doing or why your doing it. The game board is blown up out of proportion. Half the screen is blacked out, Making it difficult to see what’s going on, and what your doing. There is no way to exit the tutorial except by playing it out, or closing the game. I previously did the old tutorial before I told a friend he could learn the game from it. And I felt it would teach him the game. He had trouble understanding this new tutorial. We ended up not wanting to play. Please bring back the previous tutorial.

When we tried to play the game we found it is an annoying game. When we are picking our tickets there is a sign that drops every 8 seconds that says, “Please choose some tickets.” And then there is a sign that says “It’s your turn” that keeps dropping down every 10 seconds. I know it’s my turn. I only need to be told once. Can we turn these annoying signs off? We are playing “Pass and Play” Even if we were playing another way; there is no need for these signs to drop over and over again.
These annoying signs drop down even in the solo game. They are useless annoyances.

Nice picture and proper sound notice makes good presentation of the game. Brought me much fun and is a good pass time. There’s still a few problems:
1. Please fix the glitches with pass and play on iPad. I was never able to launch the game that way. It quits unexpectedly every time, making me and my friend pay twice if we want to play together even in the same room. I hope it was meant for people together to play on one device. Otherwise we can’t really persuade everybody to pay 6 dollars and get involved.
2. Cannot choose icon for myself. Always the green boy if I’m host player(But I’m girl) it doesn’t mess with the game, but allowing choice with icon is definitely more fun. Same thing for multiplayer’s locally. I cannot tell my friend from robot player unless asking his color
3. I’ve played board game and there was this concept of building a station, where you could use all routes directly connected to the station to complete your path cards. Would you be able to adapt this function? Currently it’s nothing challenging but drawing cards by luck and predicting robots routes to act accordingly. (They are pretty weak though after you’ve played a while)

A couple design flaws and/or glitches takes most of the fun out of the game. The game is mostly well made and easy to play with the exception of the following which often makes it frustrating and not worth playing. Hopefully the below is fixed someday because this game could be one of the best.
- The game often stalls for 5-30 seconds each turn when each player’s timers continues to run after he executes his move. The next player can’t play and everyone just has to wait for some unknown reason.
- One attempted workaround to the above, which doesn’t usually work, is for players to exit the game and return after they make their move. Unfortunately this requires other players to click ‘Okay’ each time the notifications appear. Which can mean you’re clicking dozens of times every game instead of just playing.
- The game doesn’t have an individual turn time limit so if a player isn’t active you have to wait the entire 10-15 minutes of their game clock until the robot jumps in.
- The game has some cool graphics when you complete a route or have the longest train but it slows the game down too much, especially since it already is frustratingly slow from the above items.

I really enjoy the tabletop version of Ticket to Ride, especially playing with my parents who have grown a bit bored of the scrabble-and-monopoly board games but don’t really want to sit through a half-hour rules presentation either. It’s strategic enough to be interesting but not hard to understand. The app version is 100% faithful to the board game, and it’s been a lot of fun to try out the different maps that I’d hesitated to get physical copies of due to space constraints. Definitely worth it if you like board games, and want to play with people far away.

That said, the process of setting up invitation games is clunky and kind of hard to navigate (not to mention troubleshoot over the phone) and the scoring glitches on some of the maps have really detracted from the fun. It’s also a lot of information on a small space, and it would be really handy to be able to up the font size, especially when playing on an iPad mini. I hope to see these problems improve, as I’ve seen some of the older bugs get fixed.

Ive played this game for about 2 years now and was introduced with the board game version while playing with family. I thought the board game was a ton of fun so I downloaded the app. Originally everything was great with the app and there were only some minor bugs, but since the past year everything is terrible. The chat option has been shut off for forever (I understand it’s a family game but their should be an option to turn on or off chat according to an individual player basis) and worst of all the game bugs out and crashes every other game!! One game (online that is) will go by with no problems, and then all of a sudden for 5 games straight it’ll pause in the middle, with no warning to me, I have to refresh the game and by the time I refresh either the game is done (and the computer finishes it for me) or the computer has ruined my game by playing 10 moves that I never asked for!! The game almost always crashes mid game and it’s so frustrating as I’ve been playing it for more than a year on the app version now. Extremely dissapointed. A fun game, with terrible execution.

This is easily one of the best board game adaptations available on mobile. Unfortunately, the most recent update has introduced a slew of unpleasant quirks/bugs. The game stalls almost interminably when transitioning into the final scoring after the last round of turns. Exiting back to the menu from a finished game is another spot where the app can’t quite seem to figure out what it’s meant to be doing.

The new animations are sleek, to be sure. But they’re also wholly unnecessary & ultimately do little more than slow down the gameplay experience. And even though I am playing on an iPad (so no issues here with accidentally exiting the app, as so many other players have bemoaned), the new larger graphics of my hand of cards fanned out often blocks the bottom of the map. I have to tap a card to make them reduce down in size on every turn, which results in the game’s error buzzer sounding *every turn.*

Does all of this make the game unplayable? No, not for me. It does, however, make playing the game unnecessarily tedious, almost to the point I’m inclined to uninstall & save myself some storage space until I hear the kinks have been ironed out.

Why did I just pay $10 for this app? The app and servers are completely broken, it’s virtually unusable! I figured with 21k 5 star ratings that it would be fine. I didn’t even notice that the app hasn’t had a version release for TWO YEARS. Playing online is so bugged it’s broken. Every time I start a game the app just hangs, meanwhile the backend and the other players think I’m just sitting there letting the clock run down. I literally have to close the app, reopen it, and rejoin the game every single time. And it’s so slow, it wastes two minutes of my clock time easily. I know I’m not the only one having the issues either because every game involves other players disconnecting and reconnecting at least once. Meanwhile as I’m busy rebooting the app trying to get into the game, a robot has taken over to make dumb decisions on my behalf. Absolutely ridiculous. I’ve never had to get a refund for an app but I guess there’s a first for everything. Not even sure how to go about doing that??

Oh, and sometimes it simply hangs on “Authenticating” and you just can’t play.

This game is a really fun adaptation of the board game that I love to play. I like not having to count up all the pieces, shuffle and hold cards, and carefully place my trains on the board in the right spot. I love the ranking system as I think it demonstrates a players skill, but values their most recent game scores above their past ones.
One change that I would like to see made is a turn time limit. There is already a time limit for the whole game, but I believe one for a turn is needed! I’ve been in way too many games where the person who is clearly doing poorly stops playing, and the remaining players have to wait for his/her timer to run down. I played a game this morning where I had to wait 10 minutes until one player’s timer finally ran out just so we could take our last turn. The turn timers could be something set by the host of each game. I think anywhere from 30 seconds to 2 minutes would be good.
