Provenance

Where it came from

Ticket to Ride: New York is part of the 'Days of Wonder' series of fast-paced, standalone board games designed by Alan R. Moon. Released in 2018 as a streamlined alternative to the original 2004 Ticket to Ride, this edition was designed to be played in under fifteen minutes. It maintains the core tactical mechanic of collecting and playing matching train cards to claim routes, but replaces the traditional board and plastic trains with a compact map of 1960s Manhattan and miniature plastic taxis.

The game was developed to meet the growing demand for 'micro-games' that remain accessible to casual players while offering enough strategic depth for enthusiasts. By focusing on a single city, the design team at Days of Wonder, working with local publishers like Galápagos Jogos for international distribution, aimed to introduce the franchise to players who might find the global versions intimidating or time-consuming. It has since been well-received as a successful entry point for new hobbyists and a convenient travel companion for established fans.
