About this product

A fast, beginner-friendly Ticket to Ride game set in Amsterdam’s golden age of trade.

Race through 17th-century Amsterdam, claim busy trade routes, complete contracts and collect merchandise bonuses in a quick 10–15 minute family strategy game.

Product Description

Step into Amsterdam during the Dutch Golden Age, when canals, warehouses and busy streets made the city one of the world’s great trade hubs.

In Ticket to Ride: Amsterdam, players collect transportation cards, claim commercial routes across the city and complete secret contract cards for points. It keeps the simple, easy-to-learn Ticket to Ride feeling, but in a smaller, faster city-sized format that is perfect for family game nights, beginners and quick strategy sessions.
