We continue our topic of train games by recommending the best next step train games for Ticket to Ride fans. Sticking with the railway theme we review one of the most unique train games out there: Rail Pass. We’ve got more thoughts on Rail Pass in the Bellhop’s Tabletop segment as well as initial thoughts on Azul Crystal Mosaic and Gorinto.
