Days of Wonder has launched an iPad version of its popular board game, Ticket to Ride. The original board game has earned over 24 international board game awards, with over 1.5 million copies sold, and now the iPad version appears to be winning great reviews from new and old fans alike. In the game, players compete to create routes across North America, earning points as they go.

The iPad version of the game sees the player pick up train cards and place trains on the “board” to connect distant cities, with the app automatically enforcing the proper rules, calculating the players’ scores and keeping track of their Destination Tickets, train cards and remaining trains.

You can either play in solo mode against up to four AI players, or online against up to four other opponents anywhere in the world.

"The iPad is a revolutionary gaming platform," said Days of Wonder CEO, Eric Hautemont. "Our very own Small World for iPad paved the way by showing off the iPad's true potential as a digital board game platform, and we built on that experience to offer an even richer board game experience with Ticket to Ride for iPad. We look forward to welcoming iPad Ticket to Ride players into our thriving online players community."
