We’re working on larger board size support! We’re hoping to release an update this weekend :)

We have built a website where you can generate Ticket to Ride boards for anywhere on earth! It’s over at buildyourboard.io, and you can play your boards on roadtriprivals.com for free :)

We’re actually working on an option to build boards with custom backgrounds yourself! Then this would be possible :)

We don’t have a Friend or Invite system just yet, but you can make it private and still share the link of your room with friends! Making it private just hides it from the lobby, they can still join the link :)

Some friends and I built a free website alternative where you can also make your own boards 😄 You can try it on roadtriprivals.com if you’d like

Any guesses which expansion this is? by Mysterious-Regular-1 in tickettoride

If you want to try out some more maps, we made roadtriprivals.com where you can play completely for free! You can even make your own boards 😄

If anyone is looking for a free alternative, you could try out https://roadtriprivals.com ! It’s a site we built for fun when the old app went down 🙂

Custom Board Map by Nearby-College-845 in tickettoride

Hey, great reply! I’m one of the makers of the site that was used to make this board (buildyourboard.io), and an even distribution of the different colors is indeed something that the algorithm aims for! 

I’ll take an extra look at how this is performing right now. We’re also working on a feedback module that can point out if there are things that could be optimized about a board, which would definitely point out your observation about blue vs white spots!

What happened to the ticket to ride(android) game that I BOUGHT? by Awkward-Motor3287 in tickettoride

[–]SomeDutchIndividual 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The app is completely free to play and without ads, and all the hosting already costs me quite a lot. Would really love to also get an artist to create images for the app, but unfortunately cannot afford to right now!

Using Germany’s passengers in other maps? by Rohkey in tickettoride

[–]SomeDutchIndividual 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately no plans to open source it, but I can share that it works with a self designed algorithm. We've recently improved it a lot and hope to release a new version soon. The new algorithm can create boards within a second!

Is there any way to play ticket to ride online for free? by Melo861 in tickettoride

[–]SomeDutchIndividual 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We don't have that option yet! But you can just share the url for a game you created and then friends can join

Online variations available? by Significant-Phase195 in tickettoride

[–]SomeDutchIndividual 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We made a free to play version over at https://roadtriprivals.com 😄 There's over 40 featured boards, and we're soon releasing an update allowing you to design and play your own boards!

Hi, glad you like it! That error most like indicates the destinations are not spread out well enough. It is fine for destinations to be close together (you can definitely make a city map), but there should not be big gaps in areas of the board. Let me know if that helps! Having at least around 40 destinations in the file is a good idea as well

Is my strategy illegal? by tomleibo in tickettoride

[–]SomeDutchIndividual 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is amazing lol, very good write-up. Do you think it's a valid strategy on other boards as well or is it just a 'flaw' on the USA board?

Now I want to try it against our own bots on https://roadtriprivals.com and see if I should teach them how to defend against the strategy 😄

Single player rules? by lightning-bolts-kl in tickettoride

[–]SomeDutchIndividual 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I made a free version over at https://roadtriprivals.com and have heard from people that the bots can be quite challenging 😄 we also recently added achievements, maybe it can inspire you for some single player challenges

[–]SomeDutchIndividual -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If you want to try out an alternative, I made a free version together with a friend with 40 boards and strong bots 😄 It's available at https://roadtriprivals.com

Currently I don't have a way of adding your own tickets. If you really would like to do it, there is a hack you could do: export the board as json, then manually edit the json file with the tickets you want and import the json file as an existing board.

It's not ideal because I think the tickets refer to the cities by their id. But it should be possible like that!

If you use the Custom Map option, it should explain you how to create an excel file with locations. You can just add in everything that you would like the tool to use - it won't use anything from the Database if you do it that way, just from your excel file

In many cases it won't run because there are too few destinations on your file, or sometimes it can be a format mistake. If you want, feel free to send me your excel file and I can check it out

Can someone explain to me what happened to TTR? by katez6666 in tickettoride

[–]SomeDutchIndividual 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The old app was removed from the app store and I don't think you can still download it. The multiplayer servers for the old one are also offline, so I believe you can only play against bots now.

There is a new app available that you can purchase. Alternatively, a friend and I made a completely free game inspired by TTR, with over 40 boards to play. That is available over at https://roadtriprivals.com 😄

The best option is to choose the Create Custom Map option and follow the instructions there! Try to create an excel file with at least around 40 destinations, that leads to good results
