Which flies in the face of Days of Wonder's reputation for attention to detail. Nevertheless, ''Ticket to Ride 10th Anniversary Edition'' is still playable and the rules for each of the ‘1910’, ‘Big Cities’, and the ‘Mega Game’ variants are available online, but again this is not a satisfactory solution given that this is a highly expensive version of an existing game and a prestigious redesign of Days of Wonder's flagship title."<ref name="10th-details_rlyeh_2014">{{cite web|title=2004: Ticket to Ride|website=2004: Ticket to Ride|date=18 October 2014|author=Rlyeh|language=en|url=http://rlyehreviews.blogspot.com/2014/10/2004-ticket-to-ride.html|access-date=29 May 2024|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240604102545/http://rlyehreviews.blogspot.com/2014/10/2004-ticket-to-ride.html|archive-date=4 June 2024|url-status=live}}</ref> {{as of|2024|06|12|alt=Currently}}, on [[BoardGameGeek]], the 10th anniversary addition has an average rating of 8.24, and an adjusted "Geek Rating" of 7.434, as a result of votes from 5,505 voting users.<ref name="10th-anniversary_bgg_current(2024)">{{cite web|title=Ticket to Ride: 10th Anniversary (2014)|website=[[BoardGameGeek]] (www.boardgamegeek)|language=en|url=https://boardgamegeek.com/geeksearch.php?action=search&objecttype=boardgame&q=Ticket%20to%20Ride:%2010th%20Anniversary|access-date=2 May 2024|archive-url=https://archive.today/20240501143200/https://boardgamegeek.com/geeksearch.php?action=search&objecttype=boardgame&q=Ticket%20to%20Ride:%2010th%20Anniversary|archive-date=1 May 2024|url-status=live}}</ref> The anniversary edition received the following honours: {| class="wikitable" |+ Accolades |- !
