I do not really have a preference between the two versions. The American version is a cinch and legendary. This is slightly more complex but not panic, the game is accessible to all rules and new elements are easy to grasp.
Owning two can seem a little superfluous as the universes are close, those averse to the minimalism of the first version may find their happiness here, while those who swear by the genius of the initial counting game are likely to see not the interest of this variant.
You decide if the European geography makes you more dream than the United States.
Anyway, in this incarnation or another, Ticket to Ride remains a family entertainment of high quality, indispensable classic game library.
