Today we played a new version of Ticket to Ride: France!
The variant is quite fun. There are track layouts, some of which overlap, but you can't build on them until you place a colored track strip. And of course, as soon as a track strip is placed, any other tracks that intersect it can't be built. This lets you choose the color of your route, but it also shows others where you want to go. This placement also allows you to temporarily block opponents who don't have the color of the track strip.
None of the boys were focused on the game (except Kiet); they only came when I called their turns. Xoai just collected cards, and Long built his entire route with white track strips because his train color was white... Needless to say, the game was played between Kiet and me, and we didn't keep score.
Suffice it to say, the game was played between Kiet and me, and we didn't keep track of the other players' scores. I need to find a game where we play constantly, all together, like a role-playing game, but I don't know if I'll have time to prepare something for next weekend.
