Set Off on an Immersive Journey with the New Ticket to Ride

Hello, travellers!

Here at Marmalade we absolutely love board games and we've created a wide range of board games for digital platforms. So far, our titles include Monopoly on mobile, Battleship, The Game of Life 2, Cluedo, Mouse Trap, and more across mobile, Steam, and console.

We're passionate about enabling people to enjoy their favourite games with their friends and family, no matter where they are. For us, it's all about creating cherished memories, even when there's distance, and Ticket to Ride embodies this same philosophy.

We've put a lot of effort into making the game accessible and user-friendly, so you can focus on what you love most – strategizing and building the greatest railway network on the board!


Now, let's talk graphics! They're not just visual eye candy; they're your window seat to this dynamic cross-country adventure. We've taken things to a whole new dimension with 3D maps that come alive with environmental effects. When you complete a ticket, you'll receive a postcard from that location. Simply flip it to reveal a breathtaking 3D scene that captures the moment!

Feel the world around you as the board reacts to your moves, making your journey feel more real than ever before. Even the cards themselves have received the 3D treatment, adding an extra layer of depth to every draw. Every turn of a card, every completed ticket, and every route claimed leads to magical moments where the board game is brought to life!


We've been working tirelessly to create a seamless and captivating experience in the all-new Ticket to Ride video game. The result is a game that we hope existing fans of the board game, and players who have never played the game before, will love.

We’re so excited to continue to share more of what's to come with all of you in the Ticket to Ride community! Follow us and stay tuned for more information about the features and content of the game, and in the meantime, feel free to share your thoughts and expectations in the comments below.

Let's make this next ride one for the books!

Mastering the Rails in Solo Play: Can You Beat an AI Trained by Experts?

Hello, fellow Ticket to Ride enthusiasts!

Today, we're thrilled to explore a feature we know many of you have been eagerly anticipating: our advanced AI!

Marmalade Game Studio's AI in Ticket to Ride is far from your ordinary computer opponent. It has been meticulously crafted to mimic real players, ensuring that it challenges you as you progress through the game. Our development team put in countless hours studying and interviewing top players to create an AI that adapts, strategizes, and competes in real-time. The outcome is a dynamic AI system that delivers a satisfying gameplay experience for both newcomers and seasoned pros.


The secret of our Ai’s prowess? It doesn’t just play the game; it studies it. We’re using cutting-edge technology that allows us to run thousands of game simulations lightning-fast. It’s almost like teaching our AI through ‘‘experience’’. We pit AI against AI, refining their strategies based on thousands of trial runs.

Cristina Mereuta, co-CEO of Marmalade Game Studio, sums it up nicely:

"We all know that one friend who doesn't just win but dominates the game with a 200-point lead. We interviewed over a hundred such players to understand their approach and molded our AI system based on their input. The result is a live AI that utilizes top-notch strategies for victory and responds in real-time to the game's developments. This gives us the best of both worlds: a satisfying experience for expert players and a laid-back game for those newer to the scene."

So, are you up for the challenge?

Ticket to Ride will launch on November 14, 2023. Don't miss the train – add Ticket to Ride to your Wishlist today and prepare to challenge our AI in an exciting showdown of wits!

The Origins of the Classic Railway Adventure - Ticket to Ride

Hello, travellers! Today, we're venturing into the world of Ticket to Ride, the classic board game that has captured the hearts and minds of players worldwide.

Ticket to Ride was created by the talented board game designer, Alan R. Moon.

As a lifelong gamer, Moon grew up with a passion for board games. But unlike many of his peers, he never stopped playing them.

In 2003, the Spiel des Jahres-winning designer Alan R. Moon met with Days of Wonder to show a prototype of what would later become Ticket to Ride. Moon explained the rules in no time, and they set about placing rudimentary train cars across a map of the United States. Roughly two-thirds of the way through the game, Alan swept the board and packed up the prototype, saying “Good, you understand the principle of the game. It’s very simple.”

And the rest, as they say, is history!

The game’s release and reception in 2004 would prove more successful than anyone could imagine. The title has since been widely regarded as one of the best board games of all time. And now, the adventure of Ticket to Ride awaits you in an exciting reimagined digital version of the beloved board game.



Become a railway pioneer as you compete with fellow travel enthusiasts anytime, anywhere. Strategically plan your routes, connect cities, and drive your enterprise from coast to coast. Be ambitious! In this era of innovation and expansion, no player shall be left behind.
