Good game, glad you finished your routes early

Can I ask, when you were working on Seattle to Las Vegas, when you are worried about blue ending the game, that you didn't go for the higher point routes like Portland to San Francisco first?

Good game

I'm wondering why you decided to go up over the top rather than connecting Denver to Vancouver via Salt Lake/Portland/Seattle or Helena/Calgary? Going across the middle would give more options for later tickets?

Not sure why you ever draw off the railyard for 1 card you want before going off the top. Better to go off the top, then take the one you want. Otherwise if a wild peels off when you take your card, you don't get it, as opposed to taking the possible wild off the top, then whatever you want off the yard

At 17:57 you should taken Pittsburgh to washington and it would have hooked everything up

You missed 2 blacks

game is awesome. have played almost every version, it was a staple board game at family lake house

Hey Matt! Where is the “yesterday’s video” you mentioned at the beginning??!

I'll never understand why you waste 2 wilds on a 6-route when the other players have maximum 9 cards and aren't anywhere near where you're playing.

Great game Matt

GG! I need to get the Mega 1910 expansion ASAP. Thanks for the content!

Nice game.

That's gotta be one of the most competitive final scores we will ever see. I would love to be part of a game like that.

Man, if I scored 162 and came last I'd be pissed!

turns out you did have enough time to for calgary to nashville, also you could've kept new york to nashville at the start, but don't really fault passing on either. good game.

There were so many good tickets sitting in the deck there. Vegas-NY, LA-Miami, LA-NY, and LA-Chicago were all completed by you, worth over 15 points, and not in anyone's hand. Crazy that you didn't hit any of them

That last ticket pull!

You give me anxiety when drawing for more tickets when not done with the existing ones. 😂😅

I play euchre twice a week at the local club and your first hand was a dream start.

good game. i do think taking omaha to kc and blocking yellow was the play, though i think it only blocks one of yellow's tickets and they still win.

I've tried searching for your user name but BGA says you don't exist. 😅😂

Thanks for the game, Sorcerermatt. You are one amazing teacher. I've learned all I know about ttr from watching your CZcams content. Btw, when you first mentioned blocking that Omah section, I didn't yet have the Houston to Duluth route. You were correct when you said I must have just had Houston to KC. Now, had you blocked that Omah section, I would not have taken Duluth to Houston. But I would have to take something. What that something would have been and then could I have finished it is another question. gg & ty

Good game and congratulations to recre8 on your win.

Congrats to recre8! And it's recreate like having fun lol. wreck-ree-ate

Wow, what a great game! I thought for sure you'd have it before yellow tallied up, especially since I saw you had to have most tickets and longest train. You didn't mention it, but amazingly, no one missed any tickets! That was crazy good action there. But yeah, you should have definitely blocked yellow going to Omaha, I think that would have won you the game. You are too nice!!!

Great game by everyone that game and well done recre8 on the win.

Thank you for the content sorcerer Matt! You are one of the reasons we started our board game channel.

Yeah good game, I took Vancouver to Portland in the start as an extra ticket if there was no direct treat there (since I had other priorities). Thanks for playing tho!!

should've gone toronto to pittsburgh in blue instead of green, though there's an argument for toronto to montreal, but also take with blue. overall, i didn't think duluth to toronto made that much sense, duluth to chicago to pittsburgh seemed better and then i take both slc to chicago and denver to pittsburgh (don't know why you don't take both, it's the main mistake that costs you the game, gets you 11 points and you don't share the bonus for the win), have the green for helena to denver and just need slc to denver.

It feels like you should have taken Denver to Pittsburgh alongside SLC to Chicago since you were already in pittsburgh and you had plenty of ways into denver

I feel like starting with LA to LV was a mistake so I'd love to hear more about your decision there. Looking at what I would have done, would be to use SLC as a hub to connect Portland, Denver and LV, leaving you with a few different options to connect to Houston and eventually Miami.

Hey. I love watching your gameplay and I want to get online and play too. What is the application you are using to play? I've tried to find this version on Steam and I couldn't find it.

definitely would've kept all 5 routes you started with. i know it's 40+ trains to complete, but the only must have single routes are vegas to slc, houston to new orleans, and new orleans to miami. everything else you have options about how you want to approach with most of the best options still open when this game ended as it's mostly not that popular routes.

I think Red's problem getting to the South-west was that all routes through Los Angeles had been cut off from there pretty quickly, unless they wanted to try to get 6 blacks. And because you were clearly grabbing the 6-train route cards, I think they immediately switched their plan. They had to go to Calgary anyway, so why not go through there. I expected them to actually have some monster routes (San Francisco - Sault St. Marie, Los Angeles - Miami, Los Angeles - Chicago, Portland - Nashville). I didn't have that Calgary route on the radar myself either. But I did think they were a big threat.

Good game😊

Loved the video, keeping making this great content!

With the way Adirondack was going at the start hooking Sault and then going through Nashville was thinking they had the SF to SSM route but was wrong in the end

Always nice when the cards you need fall right in your lap. 😊

i probably prioritize atlanta to nashville turn one and maybe keep kc to houston with that path you took. works out, pretty telegraphed though, so you're somewhat lucky no one messes with you.

Calling your shot at the exact route you’d take is impressive 👏🏻👏🏻

So happy I found your channel, it’s also inspired me to start playing TTR online lately. Hopefully we get matched in a game sometime!

you have to go for that last ticket draw. bigger issue was keeping new york to chicago at the start of the game. it's only five points, doesn't connect with the rest of your routes, and you waste a lot of time and trains hooking it up. in fact, if you don't hook it up you can claim that calgary to phoenix ticket and potentially get first. don't really blame you hooking it up, though. bigger issue is keeping it to begin with and thus spending time building it/hooking it up that could've been spent drawing tickets.

I'm surprised you focused on connecting Pittsburgh to Sault St Marie early on, since none of your routes actually require those connections.

great video Matt, tough luck on this game but am enjoying the content as always!

I would have taken LA-LV-SLC with those wilds, saves the time of collecting all those blue to get SLC-PDX and gives you more time to consider other routes. Also you would have gotten 3rd either way if you hadn’t taken that last ticket, I would have gone for it too. Gg and welcome back!

I think your mistake in this game was not taking Vegas to Salt Lake when you had an orange and 2 wild. Saving yourself the trains on SLC to Portland is a big deal, it totally locks yellow out of the game, and it makes it way easier for you to consider a route that doesn't go over the top of the map

19:40 yup haha. I have been groaning for like 10 min because you HAD the tickets to fly up the west coast and just kept hunting blue

Would have been just hilarious if Red had grabbed Toronto-Pittsburgh... I was bracing myself to see a negative score! Super impressed that you salvaged anything from it!

Not drawing and playing the 2 blue to extend your train would have avoided the tie.
