Board Kings vs Ticket to Ride
Board Kings
Board Kings is a truly innovative and unique casual game by Jellybutton Games. It puts an amazing twist to the usual "spin the wheel" or "crank the lever" gameplay that games like Pirate Kings and co. use. Instead, the game combines the gameplay with a Monopoly-inspired board game layout, and switched the big "wheel of fortune" out for cards and a dice.The game is more similar to Monopoly than you'd think. In this game, you'll move your character around a path on the board based on the number you get when you roll your dice. As you go, you may land on empty spots where you can then build your own buildings, or you may land on a train tile which allows you to visit (it's no social visit though!) your friends' boards to wreak some havoc by destroying buildings or capturing their landmarks.
Likewise, other players will be able to attack you so you'd want to defend your board with strategically-placed police cars. As you advance through the game, you'll unlock new, differently-themed boards to fill with buildings and defend.
Board Kings is a casual city-building/PvP game like no other, but if you enjoy playing Pirate Kings, Coin Master or any other games from the same genre, you'll definitely enjoy this one!
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!
