Dave taught me to play Ticket to Ride on Tuesday. In case you don’t know it… TtR is the It game of the summer. You line up little multi-coloured plastic choo-choos across a board displaying a map of the US, traversed by dozens of potential train routes between major cities. Here’s a visual.

I'm tired.
