On day 5, I learned two new games: King of Tokyo and Ticket to Ride. The first game I played was King of Tokyo. This was a relatively simple game that I could see players of all ages playing and enjoying. Players attack each other and obtain victory points to try to win the game. In the two games we played, there were two very different strategies involved. The first game was a race to 20 victory points, with minimal attacking. The second game was structured around attacking the other players in hopes of eliminating them. Both games were fun and friendly.
The second game I learned was Ticket to Ride. This game involves players trying to build trains across Europe, while earning points along the way. I actually didn't care for this game as much as I thought that I would. The game play is slower than it needs to be. On a turn, a player can choose to build a train, draw new cards, or choose a new destination to build to, but they can only choose one option. I think the game would be more fun if players could draw cards and then play them on the same turn. There is a lot of waiting in the game, which doesn't make it terribly fun.
