Ticket to Ride: First Journey (U.S.)

Players collect colored train cards, claim routes on a simplified U.S. map, and try to connect city pairs shown on tickets. On a turn, a player either draws two train cards or discards matching cards to place trains along a colored route; completing a ticket lets the player reveal it and draw a replacement. Players who connect an East Coast city to a West Coast city claim a special coast-to-coast ticket. The game ends when a player completes six tickets or when a player places all of their trains; if trains run out first, the player with the most completed tickets wins.
