While the original Ticket to Ride board game let players link the great cities of America by rail, it wasn't long before the award-winning Days of Wonder classic got an updated version that was a touch closer to home.

Ticket to Ride Europe takes the map of Europe during the golden age of steam train travel as its game board, and tasks players with constructing and commanding the routes that link Edinburgh and London to Contanstinople, Paris, Berlin and Kiev - plus many more - in order to win.

The game's suitable for those aged eight and above, with a typical game lasting between half an hour to an hour - great for quick, easy-to-set-up tests of wit on rainy afternoons or at board games night.
