Ticket To Ride Takes You To Paris

Next year will be the 10th Anniversary of the original release of Ticket to Ride. To celebrate, Days of Wonder is hosting a year long series of tournaments to determine the top players in the world and crown a new Ticket to Ride World Champion! Now through the summer of 2014, regional tournaments will be held throughout the world to determine qualifiers to play in National Championship events. The National Champions will then be invited to Paris in September 2014 for the Ticket to Ride World Championship and a chance to win the Grand Prize - an unforgettable trip for two to Asia on the Orient-Express!

Local tournaments will include prizes for the winner as well as participation prizes for everyone at the event.

If you are in Puerto Rico, Bad DM recommends you contact The Gaming Pit, in Guaynabo. The owner tells us that they will start running Ticket to Ride demo nights and weekend tournaments sometime between the end of October and beginning of November.
