is this game worth buying?
what do you do in it?

As a first time player, I remember the demo being pretty fun as there is some strategy involved in planning your routes and everything.  There should be a demo still available on Marketplace and I would suggest downloading that to give you an idea.  This is a title I'm wanting to buy in the future, though.

It's a board game where you strategically lay out railroad routes in order to connect destinations and earn the most points. It's a ton of fun, especially if you can find some friends to play with.

I just picked it up and played for the first time with some friends.  We sat around and had a good time playing.  They explained the rules to me.  From what I understand you aren't suppose to see the destination tickets, but we had fun anyways.

Add me if you want to play.

It really won't matter if the other players see your destinations because the game is all about getting your own destinations complete.  Real Ticket to Ride players just ignore the other players and play the game kind of like a more complicated version of solitaire.  It's much more fun that way.  If you ever run into someone that tries to "block" you, just inform them that it's unsporting and if they continue, just don't play with them anymore.  hint:  use the negative rep feature :) :)  (I don't know why people are such meanies sometimes!!!  GEESH!)

That's lame. You're leaving bad feedback for people using a fair and valid game strategy. It's like complaining that people are using a special move you don't know how to defend against in a fighter.

Anyway and on topic, if you search eBay for "Ticket to Ride," you can find redemption codes for the game for just $6. It's well worth it.

He's being incredibly sarcastic in his post and taking a jab at the players that DO cry and whine if you block them...so in other words, I think he completely agrees with you.;)
