Great board game for kids and adults alike. - Reviewed on 2009-05-08
I've had this game for a few years now, and I must say this is one of the best board games I've ever played. I've introduced several people to this game, including family members that don't like board games, and everyone has loved it. The game goes by quickly, with a full session taking about 45-60 minutes. Each player's turn goes by quickly as well, averaging about 10 seconds for two of the normal actions (drawing train cards or claiming a route), and maybe 1 minute for the other action (choosing new destination cards-- a somewhat uncommon event), so you don't end up in a situation when each player is taking forever to play.
The game also tends to be fairly light hearted. No one knows where anyone else is going, so no one can specifically choose to try to block a specific person (likewise, that never seems to be an optimal move anyway). No one's feeling should get hurt by the time the game has finished.
The overall quality of the peices of the game are also quite good. The board is very nice (but large), the train peices are a light plastic that holds up (but try not to step on them), and the cards are pretty durable. The box also holds all of the pieces quite neatly, so you don't need to fumble around the box trying to find whatever piece you now need.
I would definately recommend this game to anyone interested in the least. You won't be disapointed.
