I agree with you thoughts concering Ticket to Ride. It is definitely best as a board-game. I wouldn’t consider playing a digital version of it. It is best enjoyed at the kitchen/living-room table.

And by “weight” you mean “DLC potential”. Memoir 44 would have been perfect but they went the pay per play route with it, which was very disappointing. I’d happily have paid £7-8 for a standalone version.

Because it’s Days of Wonder doing their usual job of doing digital version of all their big sellers. Memoir 44 and Small World also have digital counterparts, and both would probably stand up better than Ticket to Ride to repeat playings. Nothing else in their catalogue has nearly as much weight behind it (all those 3 have obscene numbers of expansions).
