I had played the classic version years ago, but with young kids complicated board games are a little off the table for now. This version was great for me and my big two (6 years and 8 years). They picked it up quickly - the 8 year old won the first game even against both parents. There's still enough strategy to make it interesting but the winner is mostly the one who draws the right cards at the right time.
I know some young kids are ready for the full version early, (and great for them!) but for our household with 4 young kids, we just don't have the time and focus to devote to a long and complicated game. 20 minutes and simple gameplay is about all we can handle before the toddlers tear the house apart.
I would say if the YOUNGEST in the house is focused and able to handle longer games, just get the classic version and adapt for them. But in our situation this one is the winner for the next few years.
We have the regular version of TTR and my 6 year old son has always taken an interest in it but it was a bit difficult for him to keep up with and also too long. This version has been perfect, he doesn't need help and likes to get it out all the time.
This was just the "beginner's game" to get my 9-year-old hooked. Once she learned the basics with this game, she "graduated" quickly to the "regular" series, and now she loves the whole series.
Nice "simple" version for very young children; recommended.
Greatly simplified version of the original game. My 5-year-old daughter loves this though we play with an open hand until she gets the hang of all the strategy.
My 6 year old has absolutely loves this game! It took her a couple rounds to figure out the rules and now she's an expert. It's easy enough to setup, too, to where she get it ready before it's time to play (or forces me to play LOL).
Since it does require some reading and following directions, my 4 year old can't play on his own. But he can put the trains down on the board which is fine by him.
I haven't played the full size game myself, but I have a feeling she'll be ready to play soon.

Description
Players of all ages can now venture across America by train in Alan R. Moon's ticket to ride: first journey. With a brand new map and simplified rules, first journey is the perfect way to introduce new players to the game of cross-country travel. Just like in ticket to ride, players collect train cards, claim routes, and try to connect cities coast-to-coast. In first journey, though, routes are shorter, train cards are drawn straight from the deck, and the game ends when one player completes six tickets, claiming the golden ticket as their prize. Climb aboard, travelers, your incredible first journey awaits!
Our entire family enjoys playing this game. We have played the adult version for years and our 7 year old always wants to join in. This version is perfect for him and still keeps us entertained. It took him a couple rounds to really get the concept and rules down. Game play for 4 takes about 45 minutes. Great game to play on weeknights after dinner!
Our family likes playing games together and this is a new addition to our game library. Both 9 year old and 6 year old boys love it and can play it easily. I love how it involves strategy to choose your path wisely and to make it to as many destinations as possible before you run out of train cars. On a side note, it also helps them with their US geography, but I don't tell them that part!
We bought this for our 5 year old. He’s picking up on the game well. Only complaint is that there are only 22 trains in each color but the goal of the game is to complete 6 tickets which would require more trains. We usually finish around 4 tickets. Super fun and will create fans for the adult version!
I bought this for my 8 year old nephew. He has been playing it with his 6 year old brother and his parents. The directions were not that easy for them to follow, and they have made up their own directions to simplify it for the kids, so when I tried to play following the actual directions it was a bit complicated and led to some misunderstandings.
Anyway, I am sure this is a fun game for kids, but maybe it could have simpler game play and directions, especially if the age range is 6 plus.
We bought this for my 5 year old son for Christmas and we have loved playing it together as a family. He always wanted to play Ticket to Ride with us but was too young to understand the strategy. With this simplified version he is able to play by himself and understand the basic concepts although he doesn’t understand all the strategy with this game either. I like that however since this game will grow with him over the years. Definitely recommend to families who love the original Ticket to Ride.
