The world is changing fast. All over the world, railroad tracks bridge countries and continents, and journeys that would take weeks can now be completed in a matter of days. Seas are no longer obstacles: huge steamers carrying hundreds of passengers sail across the oceans. From Los Angeles to Sydney, from Murmansk to Dar Es Salaam, Ticket to Ride – Rails & Sails takes you on a railroad adventure across the entire globe. All aboard, and get ready for an unforgettable journey!
Ticket to Ride – Rails & Sails is the new installment in Alan R. Moon’s best-selling train adventure series. Players collect cards of various types (trains and ships) that enable them to claim railway and sea routes on a nicely illustrated double-sided board, featuring the world map on one side and the great lakes of North America on the other. Elegantly simple and fast to learn, it takes the Ticket to Ride series to the next level! Veteran railroaders as well as family and friends will be delighted to set sail to the new horizons of Ticket to Ride…
The game just premiered at GenCon in Indianapolis and the first reviews in the press are highly positive and enthusiastic:
“I love this version of Ticket to Ride. It is more strategic than most other maps, and it is a version of Ticket to Ride that gamers would appreciate for its depth. […] The game is still easy to learn, but this offers a bit more of a challenge than past games in the Ticket to Ride line.”
Chris Wray – Opinionated Gamers

Guys, you write “is available now” – where from / how to order? The only places that sell it are resellers who currently want ~$90 for this new game – what’s the meaning of “is avalable now”? thanks, vs
Roy, can you read? It says, at the top of the page, “Online Games” – got it? wr
Hey guys, looks like the ‘online’ from Days of Wonder is an error. Reading further the description of what is in the box implies Rails and Sails is a board game. It is for sale on Amazon at $67.00. Thanks.
sold by resellers only – in both US and the UK it’s only resellers who offer it on amazon… currently there is no distribution channel “direct to the customer” (from Days of Wonder or/and amazon…)
Any chances this new version will become an app/app version of the game?
