Ticket to Ride: Paris

About this board game

Ticket to Ride: Paris is a fast-paced route-building board game for 2–4 players, with games lasting about 15 minutes. Set in the glamorous Paris of the roaring twenties, it invites you to explore the city from the Champs-Élysées to the Eiffel Tower and Montmartre.

Gameplay is similar to the original Ticket to Ride, but streamlined for a shorter experience. On your turn, choose one action: collect transportation cards, spend cards to claim a route on the board, or draw tickets showing two locations you need to connect.

• Collect transportation cards to prepare for your next route.
• Claim routes and connect locations across Paris.
• Draw tickets and complete their required connections.
• Gather blue, white, and red cards to create French flags for bonus points.

Paris adds a distinctive scoring opportunity to the familiar formula. When you claim a blue, white, or red route, you keep one transportation card of that color in front of you instead of discarding all the cards you played. Collect one card of each color, and you can make a French flag, then discard those cards to score bonus points.

The game builds toward a sharp, tense finale. Once a player has two or fewer buses left to place on routes, everyone takes one final turn. Players then score completed tickets and lose points for any tickets they failed to fulfill.

With its compact play time and Parisian setting, Ticket to Ride: Paris offers a focused version of route planning, card collection, ticket completion, and timely risk management—all without leaving the table.
