Undoubtedly, while I'm sure Ticket to Ride's single player mode will entertain iPad owners for hours and hours, the app's multiplayer mode is definitely an exciting feature. As mentioned, "tens of thousands" of PC, Mac and iOS gamers play the game each and every day - meaning iPad owners will always be able to find an online competitor. Furthermore, for this week only (in celebration of the app's launch), all three expansion packs are available for just $0.99 each as part of a "three for $3" offer. Currently, the app itself is available to download for $6.99. Check out Ticket to Ride, and let us know your thoughts in the comments.
