Train and railroad skirmish fans have a big celebration today, as Netflix has acquired the global rights to adapt the "Ticket to Ride" board game.
Netflix has decided not to stop at the "Catan: Settlers" board game. It has become known that it has also acquired the global rights to adapt the "Ticket to Ride" board game.
The deal covers gaming and documentary projects in film, series, and other media formats. First, we should expect the release of a feature film based on a script by Ben Meckler and Chris Amick. Darren Kyman from Asmodee, Eric and Kim Tannenbaum from Tannenbaum Company, as well as Jonathan Levin and Jillian Bohrer from Megamix are producing.
The "Ticket to Ride" board game has become an integral part of pop culture. More than 20 million copies have been sold, and it has been translated into more than 30 languages. Over 21 years, it has acquired many variations, maps, and a huge number of fans from various parts of the Earth.
Alan R. Moon, the author of the game, said: "Just when I thought life couldn't get any more interesting and exciting, 'Ticket to Ride' teamed up with Netflix. I can't wait to help bring these exciting projects to life for millions of fans of the game." He will serve as executive producer on behalf of Asmodee.
In the "Ticket to Ride" board game, gamers will be able to become railway tycoons who need to build the longest and most efficient routes, deal with competitors, and try to get profitable junctions.
