Players will need to arrange train cars in the right order to solve puzzles.
Tabletop game company Days of Wonder revealed Ticket to Ride: Track Switcher, a single-player game set in the popular Ticket to Ride tabletop game universe.
While the original series of Ticket to Ride tabletop games allow players to become railroad tycoons and build transportation lines around the world, Ticket to Ride: Track Switcher is a logic puzzle game for a single player that challenges them to arrange train cars in the right order using as few moves as possible for each puzzle.
Ticket to Ride: Track Switcher has an age rating of 8+. The game will include 40 different puzzles to solve, and players will earn stars (points) on each puzzle depending on the number of moves it takes them to complete it. That is, the fewer moves players take to solve a puzzle, the more stars they’ll earn. This may give the game some replayability, as kids (and adults) may want to try a puzzle more than once in an attempt to reduce the number of moves it takes them to complete it. (Players can keep track of their move count for each puzzle using a dial on the game board.)
As reported by BoardGameGeek, Ticket to Ride: Track Switcher will be released in October 2021 for $25. You can learn more about the game on the Days of Wonder website.
