A UNIQUELY FUN TRAIN ADVENTURE THAT TAKES A MINUTE TO LEARN BUT A LIFETIME TO MASTER!

OVER 2 MILLION PLAYERS HAVE ALREADY HOPPED ON BOARD!

** What is it?
A digital adaptation of the best-selling Ticket to Ride board game, designed from the ground up specifically for the iPhone and iPod Touch.

** What’s in it?
• A SOLO and PASS-and-PLAY version of the US map that made the original Ticket to Ride board game so compelling and popular (2 million copies and counting...)
• LOCAL play support over a same Wi-Fi or Bluetooth network, making it perfect for a game-on-the-go between friends
• 20 uniquely fun Game Achievements you can win while playing SOLO!
• Distinct leader boards showing your highest scores in 2-3 and 4-5 player modes and on Game Center
• Four distinct AI personalities to compete against
• A new under 2 minute Tutorial video, custom-shot for the iPhone & iPod Touch
• All for only 99 cents!

** What did we keep out?
Just as important as what’s in it, here is a list of what we kept out:
• We purposefully kept Online play out of Ticket to Ride Pocket to focus exclusively on a great SOLO and LOCAL network play implementation. We care deeply about the Ticket to Ride Online player experience, and are unwilling to compromise it with the issues inherent to mobile play (impromptu phone calls, spotty cellular coverage, etc.)
• The other maps (Europe, Switzerland) offered in Ticket to Ride for iPad have a level of detail (placing train stations in cities, etc.) that does not lend itself well to the screen size of current mobile devices. Rather than provide a sub-par game experience, we chose to keep those out.
