Goal of the game
Like explained before, the gameplay is pretty much the same as the board game equivalent. Players use two types of cards to complete the game: destination cards, which show two cities (for example Miami and New York) that need to be connected to earn points, and train cards, that are colored defining what type of cargo they are carrying. At the start of the game, players get to choose from three randomly drawn destination cards and must pick at least two, they are also given four train cards.
In each turn, players can choose to do one of three things: Draw more train cards, to be able to connect certain cities, draw new destination cards, if they had ran out of their other destination cards or just to give themselver a harder time, or claim a route, that is colored similar to the train cards they are holding in their hand. For example, if a route has 5 yellow cars on it, the player must give up 5 of his yellow cars he had in his hand. There are also train cards, that are called locomotives that serve as wild-cards, replacing any color wanted. To earn points, players must complete the destination card they hold in their hands and earn the points that are displayed on the destination card.
When one of the players has depleted his/her trains - each player starts off with 45 trains-, the game goes into the final round in which player get the chance to complete their final destination cards. If player still have destination cards that have not been completed, the points on the card as subtracted from the players final score. The longest route in the game gives a bonus to the player owning it.

The new Bonus Card is called "Globetrotter" and is won by completing the most tickets during a game. With the new tickets and bonus card the add-on introduced three new types of gameplay:
All aboard! Travel from coast to coast and visit all the stops on the exciting train adventure Ticket to Ride™. Plan your routes and connect your cities across the country to become the ultimate traveler.
Overview
Ticket to Ride is a Xbox Live Arcade conversion of the board game, designed by Alan R. Moon. It was developed by Next Level Games and published by Playful Entertainment. The game was published on Xbox Live Arcade on June 25th 2008 costing 800 Microsoft Points. The game is a Boardgame-to-XBLA conversion --like Catan and Carcassonne--, meaning that it plays pretty much the same as the board game equivalent, but it easier to set up and the games are way faster. You can play single player against AIs with up to 3 different level setting or go online on Xbox live to have a 5 player game; in addition, there is a hot-seat multiplayer where you can have 4 players play locally on the same console.Goal of the game

Downloadable Content
European continent
Europe
The Europe Downloadable Content for TTR was released on August 1st, 2008, costing 600 Microsoft Points. The new continent adds several new elements to the game. You not only have the choice of claiming normal routes, but you also have tunnels and ferries. When you claim a tunnel section three cards will be drawn at random and for each that matches the color of the route you will need to spend one more train card of that color. If you don't have enough cards of that color you will have to end your turn without claiming the tunnel. Ferries require the use of the locomotives. The other new element is that you are able to build train stations on cities and share another players route into or out of that city. This is handy since it seems to be a lot easier to have people fighting for the same routesUSA 1910
