Asmodee Ticket to Ride First Journey - Easy Family Board Game (Ages 6+)

Introduce young explorers to a friendly cross-country adventure

Asmodee Ticket to Ride First Journey invites players of all ages to imagine a train trip across America. A brand new map and simplified rules remove much of the guesswork, helping newcomers jump in quickly while preserving the sense of route building that fans love.

On the table you will find a compact setup designed for fast play sessions. Train cards are drawn directly from the deck, and players work to claim routes between cities, stacking paths from coast to coast. The pace is flexible, with play sessions typically finishing in about 15 to 30 minutes.

Two paths to a satisfying finish

The Golden Ticket idea adds a light reward to the mix, as one player can end the game by completing six tickets. This creates a gentle but meaningful sense of achievement and momentum for the next game night.
