Brown Dust vs Ticket to Ride
Brown Dust
Brown Dust is an anime-inspired Korean RPG that has a fun, sprite-based graphical style, an in-depth turn-based combat system which will remind you of Final Fantasy Tactics, and a varied selection of mercenaries that you can recruit and upgrade. In addition to the more than 300 mercenaries to recruit and deploy into your team, there are just so many different formations and attack order you can use. All of this makes up for a strategically challenging game!Of course, being an RPG, you can also expect tons of features that are commonly associated with the genre, including a story-driven campaign, a host of PvE dungeons, a PvP arena, and, if you're part of a guild, guild wars.
Brown Dust incorporates the best features of various prominent games within its genre to come up with such an engaging gameplay. It's really gorgeous to behold as well! If this is something you'd like, do give the game a try!
Ticket to Ride
Ticket to Ride is a family-favorite board game that's set in the glorious age of big trains and engines - during the railroad boom of the 18th century. In this game, you'll need to claim routes using train cards and the limited number of train cars you have, while completing as many tickets as you can. To claim a route, you'll need to use train cards of the corresponding color, though there are some exceptions to the rules, such as gray routes and wild Locomotive cards.The very strategic, turn-based gameplay mainly centers around competing with the other players in the match to claim routes that you need. If someone else claimed a route you planned on taking, then you'll have no choice but to find an alternative route, which will cost you more time and resources (train cards). However, that's actually where the fun of the game lies. You don't know what routes your opponents planned on taking and sometimes, you may be forced to adapt to the evolving situation and find another way to get to the station you need.
This digitized version of Ticket to Ride doesn't differ much from its physical/original version and that's a plus for fans of the board game. It has multiple game modes and expansions (at a cost though) as well, giving players the chance to compete with other players across the globe and more maps to play on. If you enjoy a solid strategy board game, Ticket to Ride is a game you'll want to try!
