To me, the best gateway game to get people to try out board games is Ticket to Ride. Almost everyone who has tried it has enjoyed it, and several of them went out and bought their own copy, and some of their friends ended up purchasing a copy after they played it. It’s not a surprise that one of the first iOS games from Days of Wonder was Ticket to Ride Pocket.
If you have any kind of iOS device, then take notice. Ticket to Ride Pocket is available for free right now on the App Store. While you can play the original game, for a dollar you can add in the 1910 expansion, which adds three different modes and a ton of new tickets. In my opinion, it’s a worthwhile add-on. If you haven’t ventured into board games, virtual or cardboard, then go to the App Store and download this. What do you have to lose?

While not working as a Database Administrator, Keith Schleicher has been associated with Gaming Trend since 2003. While his love of video games started with the Telestar Alpha (a pong console with four different games), he trule started playing video games when he received the ill-fated TI-99/4A. While the Speech Synthesizer seemed to be the height of gaming, eventually a 286 AT computer running at 8/12 Hz and a CGA monitor would be his outlet for a while. Eventually he’d graduate to 386, 486, Pentium, and Athlon systems, building some of those systems while doing some hardware reviews and attending Comdex. With the release of the Dreamcast that started his conversion to the console world. Since then he has acquired an NES, SNES, PS2, PS3, PSP, GBA-SP, DS, Xbox, Xbox 360, Xbox One S, Gamecube, Wii, Switch, and Oculus Quest 2. While not playing video games he enjoys bowling, reading, playing board games, listening to music, and watching movies and TV. He originally hails from Wisconsin but is now living in Michigan with his wife and sons.
