Classy boardgame conversion Ticket to Ride Pocket for iPhone available for free

Top-notch boardgame conversion Ticket to Ride Pocket for iPhone is now going for free on the App Sore.

In Days of Wonder's train-centric strategy title, you fight off competition from fellow railroad constructors to be first to build a railway across the map.

Each turn, you either lay down track, alter your route, or pick up another card. The game comes to an end once one player has exhausted (or nearly exhausted) his supply of train 'pieces'.

The iPad version of Ticket to Ride so impressed our reviewer that it had him chuffing round the office in glee, a feat which earned it a prestigious Gold Award.

What's more: in Ticket to Ride Pocket's latest update, the dev added support for asynchronous online play, meaning you can take on multiple online opponents at the same time via Game Center.

If you have even a passing interest in classic boardgames, we'd recommend laying a track to the App Store and grabbing Ticket to Ride Pocket while it's still free.
