Which game would you prefer? The original or the Europe version?

Europe. We bought original and then played Europe shortly thereafter. There is an extra element if strategy in that u can have train stations and there are a couple of really high point value train that makes it a lot more fun and challenging

Europe especially if casual gamers are going to be involved. It is the least competitive and therefore more enjoyable for me and most involved. Of course, if you prefer that in your games get the other or the 3-player Nordic Countries.

If you haven't played before, I would start with the original. It's much easier to understand. Once you have the hang of that or get bored with USA plus expansion pack, then switch to Europe!

If you are new to the game, or not someone who plays many games, the USA version is better to start with. It is very simple. In the Europe version, there are tunnels and ferries that require you to have the locomotive (wild) cards, or take a risk to build on a tunnel. I learned to play Europe first and received USA for Christmas. The strategy is very different. If you have kids or grandparents playing, go for USA. But if you want more of a challenge, get Europe. I am planning to get Europe too so that we have both. That way if we have friends over who haven't played, we can do USA. But the usual group would probably play Europe more because it is a bit more challenging. Both great games!

I own Europe and Asia. My daughter owns the US version. They are both equally fun. The US version has more routes. The Europe version has tunnels and ferries. I would base my decision on which one to get based on who would be playing. The US version, for some, would be easier due to a background in US geography.

I looked at the board pictures online and they all look pretty tame and boring compared to TTR-Europe. The central section of the Eastern side of the board is similar to the other game board options (Asia, Africa, the Original), with long stretches, few double tracks, and not much use of locomotives or tunnels to lay tracks. Europe is by far the best.

I was told by others who had played both, the European version was better. I am not sure why....but that is what I play. More options I think.

They are quite different. We like and play them both often. Ticket Germany is different still. I'd have to say that Ticket USA is the most straightforward - build your railroads, get the longest route. Europe has some accommodations because Europe is so crowded, so you need to learn to deal with stations, tunnels, and ferries. Germany adds passengers and you get nothing for longest route. Those are the ones we've played so far, and it is fun to see how diverse they are.

No question about it. The European game is far richer and more nuanced (because of the varied geography). The US one is more monotone; get the European version.

The original seems to be the most popular, but they are all basically the same game with different boards/maps.

Not to my knowledge. This is the only one showing on Amazon. My guess is the "standard version" has something to do with the game itself (which I haven't played).

It's the older version. My son received the new version for Christmas and I couldn't stand it so I bought him the same one I played as a child.

The version I received is in fact the edited/censored European version. The US version is not edited.

Yes, the ultimate edition has the original game plus a 2nd disc with all the dlc for you to download. You would be able to use the content from the original game and not lose it.

Please elaborate your question. Matter how so? I've been playing the US versions for over a decade with no problem

If you download the US version, you'll be able to use the DLC. The hard copy is from Europe and they do not have DLC. I hope that answers your question.

You have to Ask, because, I Thing they have different Version for USA, Europe and Latin America.

Geri, I have never played the second edition before, so I'm not really able to speak to that, but do want to say that the original is SO MUCH FUN!!! I would email the game company and ask them. Look forward to what you find out...

This is the standards game, so this is the one you want if you want to get either of the expansions. Both "On the brink" and "in the lab" need this version to be able to be played. You do not need the older first edition.
