Can't complete routes therefore resorting to conceding which means you don't finish game

I feel I'm vehemently being denied access to finish routes. Comments? Thoughts?

Nothing wrong with conceding. It's an acceptable way to say your opponent is doing great and you want to give them the win sooner. Your game history indicates you're playing at the beginner level in both Ticket to Ride and the Europe variation, so it's unlikely that your opponents are doing much to impede you, but it wouldn't change much even if they were.

So this is the kind of thing that belongs in the TTR forums and not in the general discussion. However, they would probably say that if you believe your opponents are blocking you from completing routes, this is a legitimate part of the game. I've seen the odd player who plays to block and ruin the game of others (at the expense of their own game), but mostly, people block strategically, and it's part of the game to manage that.

Also, as Ceaseless says, conceding is fine if you feel it's appropriate, but you're not forced to do anything. You can see a game through if you prefer, but if you've been outplayed, then that's just how the game has gone. Learn from it, hopefully you'll do better next time.
