ef106Yes  
petegrey10  This is a fun, easy game that both kids and adult enjoy. After playing a few times, you realize their are large enough differences between TransAmerica and Ticket to Ride to warrant owning both. We do and both kids and adults alike request to play both games!
davebo9  A must for any gamer, I would say. Easy to teach kids, and instructional to boot. Good for kids 8 and up, I would say.
guantanamo810Yes  
gwen8  A great game to play with kids. Easy rules (after one game they were able to do the explaining themselves), short playing time, language independent.
shawndumas89Yes Pre-teens and teens will have no trouble and are likely to enjoy. No half naked women, gore, cursing, or morbidity.
flowerkin75Yes I've been beat by more than 1 5 year old at this game. My daughter asks to play and it is on her favorite list. A simpler version of ticket to ride. I like the game as a filler for after dinner and before bedtime.
fortgary76Some An exceptionally easy to learn game, kids should like this one pretty much across the board, but it may not stand out against competitors like the Ticket to Ride series. It is quick and easy set up, play, and tear down. The adults may bore with it fairly quickly though.
jeremycobert7  Similar to ticket to ride, but with easier terms and concepts. The 4th and 5th graders at the board game club enjoy this game. The rules are easy to learn and many of the students were able to reteach the game to someone else after one time of play. It is also a great game for geography.
musicmom78Yes I like this one better than my kids right now. Maybe when they're a little older...
Shade_Jon7  A fun game that is quick to set up and teach and play, so easy to bring out for a few games. It will not inspire passion, however.
SoLove7  My 9 year old bought this for himself with his birthday money and now wants the Europe version. Very easy to teach and quick and fun to play.
sosullivan7  Better for young kids than TTR. Perhaps not so for older ones.
Styro6  This game did not go over that well in my family. The kids (5-9) have not asked for it again. It is an OK game, though. There is enough luck involved that you do not feel too badly when you do not win, and each round goes pretty quickly.
Thies65Yes This is one that I like more than my daughter seems to. My daughter (now 7) hasn't expressed dislike for it, but has never chosen it over other games, so I give it a 6 here. Simple track laying game that I find different enough from Ticket to Ride to justify a place for both in my collection. Officially 2-6 players, but I prefer it with at least 4.
erik2point05  Played once, but it was sneered at as a boring version of ticket to ride by the kids.
Jatoha58Yes Kids need to be able to read in order to play. Also, the younger ones may need help finding cities on the map. My older kids like this, but the younger one finds it dull.
