The Marklin Edition of Ticket to Ride is the third installment in the best-selling board game series that has won 14 international game awards, including the prestigious Spiel des Jahres and has sold over 500,000 copies worldwide. Like its predecessors, Ticket to Ride Marklin Edition is simple, fun and addictive.

The Marklin Edition also introduces a new Ticket to Ride game play element: passengers that pick up valuable merchandise along the routes. Created in partnership with Marklin, the world leader in model railroading, this edition features 118 historical train photographs, each carefully selected from the Marklin archives. Launch Date: April 2006.
