"Ticket to Ride is my wife's favorite board game. When she suggested games on Sunday afternoon and she requested "the usual," I knew exactly which one she meant. The German-invented train building game has been our standard go-to for quite a while. I'm fairly confident in claiming it as my own favorite at this point, too. For starters, I love maps. I have loved them from about age 6 onward. So, any game involving maps – and I prefer real world maps to invented world maps – is already winning with me. For this reason, I love Pandemic, too. I also prefer a game in which no players are eliminated – everyone's in it until the end. Pandemic's great that way also. Where Ticket to Ride has Pandemic beaten is that with the former, I feel satisfied whether I win or lose. I get to build trains and building trains is fun. I am a little disappointed if I can't finish all of my routes but I can live with it. I can certainly live with losing. Pandemic, on the other hand, is a lot more stressful. It's a cooperative game and if we lose, the urge to play again right away is powerful. Mind you, it's still loads of fun but for a relaxing afternoon, I'll take Ticket to Ride every time…."

Is this and/or Pandemic easy for elder people (who are not big boardgame players) to pick up? I wanted something to play with my parents when I visit them. |
