Personal Thoughts on Ticket to Ride: Amsterdam

Ticket to Ride: Amsterdam is a great addition to the series for those looking for a quick and light game. The build quality is excellent, as expected from Days of Wonder. However, the game may not offer enough depth for seasoned gamers. The pricing is reasonable for the components included, and it is widely available both new and used. For those looking for a shorter and more casual version of Ticket to Ride, this game is worth your time. However, if you prefer more complexity and depth, you may want to consider other editions of Ticket to Ride or similar games.
