@GoldenGirl: You are playing on a grid with different size an and shape blocks. You are trying to use all your blocks as well as stop others from doing the same. The blocks you end up with at the end count against you. Real simple but its pretty good.
I love ticket to ride and pandemic!
I have ticket to ride but still need to buy pandemic.
Have you heard of Dominion? It's a awesome strategy game. We have the main game and 6 expansions.
I would love to get a board game night going with games like these if I can find some interested parties. We love to play games and hang out
