| ticket to ride

Remember back in this post where I talked about the idea of a time lapse video of the game Ticket to Ride? Well, we finally got our own copy of the game, along with the 1912 expansion pack. Saturday evening we set it up with M's brother and sister-in-law and after much fiddling with the camera, we got the game underway. I've never enjoyed having a remote for the shutter as much as I did that night. It's fun to watch the train cards change color, hands move in and out, stations get built and trains criss-cross the board. Enjoy!

PS: Our sister-in-law left all of us in the dust. And the song is called "Us" by Regina Spektor from the (500) Days of Summer soundtrack. Great movie, great soundtrack.

ticket to ride : europe edition

When we were up in Wisconsin this past fall visiting these wonderful friends, they introduced us to a board game called Ticket to Ride Europe. We're hooked. It's awesome. And next time we play, if I can remember and we can set it up correctly, I'm going to attempt to make a time lapse video of the trains being built as the game continues. *Note: I cannot take full credit for this idea, it was my brother-in-law's. But for now, here are some fun shots of the board from this weekend.
