We usually try to play along with the show but haven’t tried the app - must do that cos it is sometimes easy to cheat and pause for a second or two 🤣
If you can find a game called Acquire you won't regret it. Not sure why it wasn't bigger. Be interested to see if anyone has heard of it
If you want to try some new board games, go to Chance&Counters board game cafe in The Custard Factory- it’s great and they have hundreds of games! Plus there are people working there that have an unbelievable knowledge of the games!
RagsAnyone had the 1% Club boardgame? Wife is obsessed with the TV show so was gonna get it for over Christmas.
Worryingly she regularly gets further than me.
Does she play along live on the app you can download ?
Makes the show excellent in my opinion... are you as good as you actually think you are when you have to stick to the time limits and only have the same chances as the contestants have ?
Puts the pressure on
Yeah she does, she does well to be fair. I've told her to apply, has "won" via playing on the app a few times now. Very different in that studio I bet.
My brain just doesn't work like that, I like to think of myself as being pretty intelligent but the questions on that baffle me.
BluenoseMoI love Ticket to Ride
Me too. I think it might have been inspired by a game called Rail Baron in the 70's
I would have won last night, got the 1$ question immediately it was read out, normally can't get one along the way though.

Would you both recommend the original, or one of the updated versions - there is a Europe 15th anniversary edition with a few new concepts included for example. Sometimes they ruin the originals trying to be clever.
I’d start with the original - we have the UK add on too which adds a bit more to the game. To be honest though, it is good enough as it is.

The original, the Europe and the Scandanavian are the best ones, all essentially the same game but different enough experiences to warrant trying all 3.
For a beginner, I'd go with Europe (the original version, TTR isn't one where expansions help usually).
wookieTicket to ride is pretty good
