Pros + Cons

Pro

Pro
 Local multiplayer is possible

A "hot seat" mode is available, allowing for multiple players to play on the same computer, each one taking turns. Although this kind of multiplayer seems to work well for turn-based games, it does not work for all game types.

Comment

Pro
 Deep gaming experience

The core of the Magic games is extremely deep with years of additions, tweaks and new rules to broaden the scope of the whole game.

Con
 Game pushes players into purchasing cards

Progression in the game falls a bit flat, especially in the collecting aspect. This may be done in order to push people into paying for card packs instead of feeling like they steadily earn them through gameplay.

 Family friendly

Thanks to its intuitive nature and easy to grasp rules, Ticket to Ride is great for newcomers to the game or those unfamiliar with board games in general, or even kids.
Comment

Pro
 Great expansions

Ticket to Ride offers numerous expansion packs that build on the base game in fun new ways. For starters, there's all new maps for places such as Europe, Asia, India, Africa, and more. This means you can play the game you enjoy on an a fresh board with new routes to learn. Each expansion also adds its fair share of new gameplay elements (such as tunnels, boats, and train stations) and has new train cards.

Con
 Basic

The "North American" Ticket to Ride (original game) is fun but has very low complexity. Regular players will tire quickly from this lack of depth. The variants like Europe or India bring some new maps and more gameplay elements, which is sorely needed after the first few games.
