Rowan Tree and Red Thread

sammywol and I played a 2-hander of Ticket to Ride Europe last night, breezing through in easily under an hour including set up time and a brain-fuddled recap of ferry and tunnel rules. It was a tight game with the scores within about 7 points of one another all the way through. I pushed ahead to run out my supply of trains quickly, taking only one additional ticket beyond my starting four. sammywol risked 7 tickets and was caught 4 green cards short of completing the lot, which cost her 22 points in all. Final score was sammywol 110+12, mylescorcoran 126+12. So that one ticket swung the game.

The bugger of it was that sammywol chose to take back a move - which I allowed of course - earlier in the game that would have completed that troublesome ticket. Oh the irony.
