Ticket to Ride: New York (Days of Wonder)So you say Ticket to Ride just takes too long to play? Well, Days of Wonder has you covered as the extremely portable Ticket to Ride: New York is arriving next month and promises a full game in just 15 minutes. Take to Manhattan and Brooklyn as you aim to connect transit lines to various landmarks. The stand-alone game is designed for 2 to 4 players, ages 8+, and will carry an MSRP of $20.00. Ticket to Ride: New York will be available exclusively at Target stores in the U.S. in June.

From Days of Wonder:

Welcome to the Big Apple! Enjoy the sights from Times Square to Brooklyn, and all over NYC. Admire the stunning view from the Empire State Building or take a walk through scenic Central Park!

Ticket to Ride: New York features the familiar gameplay from the Ticket to Ride game series — collect cards, claim routes, draw tickets — but on a scaled-down map of Manhattan that allows you to complete a game in no more than 15 minutes.

Each player starts with a supply of 15 taxis, two transportation cards in hand, and one or Ticket to Ride: New York Components (Days of Wonder)two destination tickets that show locations in Manhattan (and Brooklyn). On a turn, you either draw two transportation cards from the deck or the display of five face-up cards (or you take one face-up taxi, which counts as all six colors in the game); or you claim a route on the board by discarding cards that match the color of the route being claimed (with any set of cards allowing you to claim a gray route); or you draw two destination tickets and keep at least one of them.

Players take turns until someone has no more than two taxis in their supply, then each player takes one final turn, including the player who triggered the end of the game. Players then sum their points, scoring points for the routes that they’ve claimed during the game, the destination tickets that they’ve completed (by connecting the two locations on a ticket by a continuous line of their taxis), and the tourist attractions that they’ve reached with their taxis. You lose points for any uncompleted destination tickets, then whoever has the high score wins!
