Re: Can we Have Option for Block/No Blocking Games for People Who Hate SABOTAGE Players?

[quo te=Suoivax post_id=233405 time=1764216883 user_id=1278057] You might try looking at it another way... Opponent has absolutely awful tickets, doesnt matter what you have, it WILL be better than his, so his only real option is to stop your scoring opportunity. He tries that and fails. And because...

Re: Can we Have Option for Block/No Blocking Games for People Who Hate SABOTAGE Players?

In Olympic sports, if you need to run to the finish line, then a person runs as fast as possible. If another athlete trips the first player, he is disqualified. In the game, there is often a situation when the blocking seems intentional, although this is not so, but because the routes coincide. But...

Suggestions for cooperative games on BGA?

I’m a cooperative person by nature but can’t seem to find a cooperative game I enjoy. Most cooperative games I’ve played IRL seemed engineered to be so difficult (or practically impossible) to win, I was turned off. I do love Just One, but I enjoy it much, much more in person. I guess because it’s m...

Rules clarification for stations, please

Can a station connect in two directions of opponent’s track or just one? I just played a game terribly and tried in desperation to use my three stations to connect four routes to try to complete an 18 point destination (to Pamplona, I believe). I don’t think it would’ve worked, but don’t know for su...

Re: 18 Completed Destinations on Switzerland Map—How?

If you want to link the game I can have a look at it This was the game: Ticket to Ride #617184342 After reading the responses here, I think I probably should have been more aggressive in taking destinations and claiming routes to key cities (which cities I will have to learn), and probably trying t...

Re: Can we Have Option for Block/No Blocking Games for People Who Hate SABOTAGE Players?

For me personally, I’d prefer to find other players who agree not to engage in blocking for its own sake. But other than only playing with friends, I don’t know logistically how it would work. You would have to either create or join a group dedicated to playing the game in this non-standard way and...

Re: Can we Have Option for Block/No Blocking Games for People Who Hate SABOTAGE Players?

I just created a public group for people (like me!) who would like to just play friendly, no sabotage games of Ticket to Ride (in all its variations). It’s called “Friendly Ticket to Ride: No Sabotage”. Please join if you also prefer to play games without blocking for the sake of sabotaging another ...

Re: Can we Have Option for Block/No Blocking Games for People Who Hate SABOTAGE Players?

I agree that blocking feels like a jerk move. On the other hand, I know some people consider it a legitimate strategy. For me personally, I’d prefer to find other players who agree not to engage in blocking for its own sake. But other than only playing with friends, I don’t know logistically how it ...
