Ticket to Ride Pocket for iPhone pulls into App Store

by Alexander Sliwinski on Nov 16th 2011 10:30AM

Ticket to Ride Pocket, the iPhone and iPod Touch version of the hit board game, is available now on the App Store for $0.99. The title supports solo play, local pass-and-play and local Wi-Fi/Bluetooth. Developer Days of Wonder has been upfront about what's missing from the iPhone version: online is out (because things like phone calls would break the experience, it says) and the level of detail and extra pieces on the Europe and Swiss map expansions don't lend themselves to the size of mobile screens.

The iPad version of Ticket to Ride has been available for a little while for $6.99. There's also the XBLA version for 800 MSP ($10), and the Europe and USA maps available as DLC.

Days of Wonder's adaptations have been incredibly faithful to the game, with the added value of not worrying about all those pesky pieces getting lost.

Great game. I support getting it into the hands of more people. Not sure if the social experience would fair if its on a phone. As long as there is just as much drinking while you're playing the app compared to the board game I'm sure it will be fine.

I just with Transamerica would come to phones. Much better game IMO (faster paced, easier to teach new people)

I don't even have an iDevice, but for 99 cents that's a no brainer.

love Ticket to Ride

I wish this included the Marklin edition, that is my favorite version. But I understand their reasoning with regards to no Europe or Swiss maps due to screen size/UI complexity, and I figure that would hold true for Marklin as well.
