This isn’t my first Ticket to Ride. I already own TtR Europe and another map, and some swag Zoe won in a TtR tournament. But USA is the best version - simple, straightforward, and tight enough to play “mean” if that’s your style.
A little over 15 years ago, when my neighbor Francie and I used to play board games together with our kids a few afternoons a week, she bought USA and I bought Europe. Europe was better for playing with kids, because the stations make it almost impossible to block someone. But I’m not playing with kids anymore (Zoe is 23) so now we can play the version that makes people swear.
I’m guessing Zoe will likely take at least one of the TtR games with her when she eventually moves out.

... I saw a new copy of Tales from the Loop at a good price and grabbed it ... oh well, plenty of games to play next time I lose my job or when I decide to work less (or not at all), I'll just pretend I was out for a few drinks and a meal instead.

But I need to start selling offto prepare for the tsunami of backlogged KSers that are arriving (finally) this year, Machina Arcana 3e arrived today and a lot more to come.
