Christmas Family Games: Why the Digital Ticket to Ride® Is the Perfect Choice of Couch Game

Christmas holidays are fast approaching, and Marmalade Game Studio offers up the perfect couch play game to keep the whole family entertained – Ticket to Ride! 

Ticket to Ride is easy to learn, yet offers a thousand strategic possibilities, making it a great game for younger children and adults alike. And it’s even easier to get on board with the free Ticket to Ride Companion App on Google Play and the Apple App Store. Simply buy the base game on your preferred console or on Steam, pick the ‘Couch’ game mode, then have everyone download the Companion App on their phone. Now everyone has a controller in their hands, along with their cards and tickets! 

In the Europe Expansion, you and your family will travel from coast to coast, tunnelling through the Alps and claiming ferry routes across the Mediterranean. Who says you can’t get a little winter sun this Christmas?

If you’d like a white Christmas, dash through the snow in the Nordic Expansion instead! Tackle the nine-train-long Murmansk-Lieksa route as you aim for glory with the Globetrotter bonus.

Journey further afield with the India Expansion – can you link up cities in multiple ways to score big with the unique Mandala bonus? 

Continue your epic adventure and dive into the Legendary Asia Expansion! Navigate mountain routes and aim to get the Asian Explorer bonus to boost your endgame score. 

Take a city break in the San Francisco City Expansion, which introduces groovy cars and Souvenirs to the game. 

And your journey continues in the latest expansion, the Switzerland Expansion! This challenging map adds country-to-country tickets, encouraging a more dynamic gameplay style.

“Christmas is all about spending quality time with your family, and with couch play in Ticket to Ride, setting up a game for everyone is quick and easy” said Bruna Silva, Head of Studio at Marmalade Game Studio, “The free Companion App gives everyone control of their game – with no risk of people peeking at their cards.”
