Deluxe version of gaming classic

A beautifully laid-out, larger, easier-to-play version of this classic hobby game. The map board is enormous, which is both fun and slightly intimidating when you are trying to find places to fit everything on a table. The assorted cards are standard playing-card size now, which is helpful for handling and vision, and also look nicer. The different trains for each player are now not only different colors, but different types as well: blue cars are passenger cars, green cars are cabooses, and so on. It also includes the 1910 expansion which adds a number of new, high-stakes destination cards to the base game. This game is fun, if rather simple, and serves as a great introduction to hobby gaming. I only have two complaints about this edition, which in no way disqualify it from being a recommended purchase.
1) The larger train cars and cards are not compatible with the many, many expansions to the game if that is something you are interested in pursuing.
2) The back of the enormous board is just a screened version of the cover art. Why would you not add an alternative map on the back and double the value of the game? This was a real wasted opportunity.
Still, even with those caveats, it's a great game with a lot of replay value and it looks great on your table or on your game shelf.

Great game for the entire family

The component quality and overall beauty of the game is outstanding and adds to the enjoyment of game play. The rules are easily understood and simple to teach. The game mechanics includes drawing cards but allows the player to choose from a blind draw (top card face down on deck) or pick from 5 face up cards that all players can see. Also, the building of train routes can be chosen to complete the players own destinations or block the competition from a route they may need. And, choosing longer destinations can pay off big points if successful, but will count against you if you fail. The combination of options the player has to select which cards to draw, when and where to place a train route and how far to "push your luck" when trying to complete long destinations keep all players engaged in the development of their railroads throughout the entire game.Read full review

The anniversary edition looks amazing!

I've played the original version of the game and enjoyed it, but I never got the urge to buy it. After the first time I played the anniversary edition I thought I must have it! The new graphics and redesigned trains look awesome, the map is huge. Totally worth it.Read full review

Best of the Best

The quality of the pieces in this edition are incredible!! Every game should have such detailed components, the only issue with that is that it would price most gamers out of being able to afford a large library of games. However, once in awhile, it is worth it to grab a game that is BEAUTIFUL in not only in gameplay but also with the make-up of piecesRead full review

Love it!

Love the game but what prompted me to buy was actually the little tins for train pieces! They don't get lost as easily and the train pieces are so cute! I also love that the board is North American which makes it much easier for my younger kids to play! Great product!Read full review
