      Oooooh...I've been wanting to try this game!! I prefer planes, my husband prefers cars, and my kids would LOVE to ride a train!

      Brooke Frandsen

      This is my favorite game of all time! I would rather ride a train, they are so peaceful. I rode the train once to my friends house where we actually played this game. My train ride warmed me up perfectly into dominating the game! :)

      Lisa Evenhuis

      I would say plane. A plane usually means I am going somewhere fun and warm:)

    • March 1, 2013 at 11:52 am

      Brianna

      I've never traveled by train before, I think it would be a lot of fun.

    • March 1, 2013 at 11:54 am

      Plane!

    • March 1, 2013 at 11:57 am

      I would travel by plane!!! Never been on a plane and I am waiting patiently for my first flight!!!!

    • March 1, 2013 at 11:57 am

      Rebecca Western

      I have always thought a cross country train trip would be so romantic and fun. :) Now i just have to convince my husband !

    • March 1, 2013 at 12:00 pm

      Teresa C.

      I always love to travel by automobile because you get to see so much countryside. I have only traveled by plane once and not by train at all. I shared the link on my Facebook page as well. Thanks for a great giveaway!

      Kim

      It terrifies me to travel on a plane but it's my most preferred choice to travel. So quick and mostly comfortable.

    • March 1, 2013 at 12:00 pm

      Lisa van Langen

      it depends, but mostly car

    • March 1, 2013 at 12:03 pm

      Sunny

      I've never ridden on a train but I'd love to.

    • March 1, 2013 at 12:05 pm

      Lori M. Willard

      PLANE!! All the places I would like to visit would require a plane trip!!! :D

    • March 1, 2013 at 12:06 pm

      Kristian

      I would rather travel by either train or plane. It's pretty close. Although it might depend on where I was going to travel through.

    • March 1, 2013 at 12:08 pm

      Deana Krezel

      I think it would really depend on what kind of car, and where we might be going, but I think I will say train, because I want to take the kids on a long scenic train ride somewhere nice. I think they would love it. You have an awesome store, and I will share on Facebook. Let me know when you open one up in PA.

    • March 1, 2013 at 12:12 pm

      Eileen Greenwood

      My boyfriend and I love this game! :) I would take a airplane cause my girls are facinated with them and so its fun to see them so excited to go on one.

    • March 1, 2013 at 12:14 pm

      Elyse

      I would travel by train! Not because of the game, that is just a fun coincidence. :) I love trains, I love the smooth ride, the views you get and how relaxing it can be. So far I have only been on shorter rides but they are always fun!!

      Also shared this on FB! :D

      I would love to take a trip on a train through the mountains. Maybe in the fall, yep that would be awesome !

      Plane... the less time I have to spend travelling, the better.

    • March 1, 2013 at 12:17 pm

      Karen Livingston

      I would rather travel by automobile.

    • March 1, 2013 at 12:18 pm

      Rebecca

      by plane!

    • March 1, 2013 at 12:18 pm

      Kristen

      I would rather travel by plane because it means I am going somewhere too far to travel by car!

    • March 1, 2013 at 12:18 pm

      Diane K

      I'm a plane traveler.

    • March 1, 2013 at 12:18 pm

      I would rather travel by plane....to get to my destination faster.

    • March 1, 2013 at 12:22 pm

      Cecily

      Train!! It's less cramped than a plane, and I don't have to do any work or pay attention while I travel!

    • March 1, 2013 at 12:22 pm

      Jodi Petersen

      The Rain in Spain stays mainly in the plane!

    • March 1, 2013 at 12:24 pm

      Tracy Larson

      I would rather travel by plane! My family would love this game for our game nights!

    • March 1, 2013 at 12:26 pm

      Paul Bowling

      Trains are the way to go in Europe (I would love it if we had the same sort of system in the states).
      Cars are awesome if the drive can be done in a day to two.
      Planes for longer distances.

    • March 1, 2013 at 12:28 pm

      Alisha Hagey

      Train - if I have the time - there is so much to see. Plane if I am rushed. I am not a huge automobile person.

    • March 1, 2013 at 12:31 pm

      Jacob Petersen

      I love this game!! I cant wait to try out the card version!

    • March 1, 2013 at 12:31 pm

      Chelsea R

      we traveled by train not too long ago and it was actually way nicer for the kids (more room, can walk around, bigger restrooms). Plane is best for long distances, but I will take a train for a shorter distance anytime (and no traffic!)

    • March 1, 2013 at 12:38 pm

      Cynthia H.

      Automobile if I can have the front seat!

    • March 1, 2013 at 12:39 pm

      Valerie

      Always automobile! =)

    • March 1, 2013 at 12:39 pm

      Janelle

      Automobile! Although train would be fun, too. Plane is definitely my last choice.

    • March 1, 2013 at 12:41 pm

      Scott

      I'd like to have the freedom to take rail around Europe. Don't like being crammed in cars and planes for very long.

    • March 1, 2013 at 12:46 pm

      Rebecca

      a train. But totally depends on from where to where, and the overall quality of the vehicle. ;)

    • March 1, 2013 at 12:49 pm

      Danielle

      Family game night with this game would be awesome!

    • March 1, 2013 at 12:51 pm

      Kristie Hill

      I love road trips, so automobile it is!

    • March 1, 2013 at 12:51 pm

      Kelli Stowers

      Train. No need to worry about watching the road and you actually get to see the scenery!

    • March 1, 2013 at 12:55 pm

      Traci

      I guess how I travel depends on where I'm going. :) I've only traveled by train once, but I'd love to try it again.

    • March 1, 2013 at 12:55 pm

      Cami

      Love this game!

    • March 1, 2013 at 12:57 pm

      Sarah Machado

      If I have the money, I'd definitely pick travel by plane.

      Have an awesome Friday!

    • March 1, 2013 at 1:03 pm

      Rebecca G

      I love planes! It gets me to where I want to go fast so I have more time to spend at whatever exotic (or just normal) location I am going to!

    • March 1, 2013 at 1:04 pm

      Ashley Gosselin

      I have traveled my plane and automobile, so I would love to travel by train!

    • March 1, 2013 at 1:12 pm

      Amber Gardner

      Since I have little kids, I would rather travel on a plane. Fastest way to get somewhere. But when my husband and I go to Europe, I want to travel to different countries by train to see the views!

    • March 1, 2013 at 1:16 pm

      Jacob Bartlett

      I would like to travel by Train! I have only had the opportunity to ride a train one time and it was fantastic! I love ticket to ride and would love to try the card game too!

    • March 1, 2013 at 1:16 pm

      Jill James

      I loved riding the train ~ it made the journey almost like a vacation in itself....

    • March 1, 2013 at 1:32 pm

      Becca Taylor

      I would rather travel by automobile. I'm not a fan of airplanes, and trains just don't seem very comfortable.

    • March 1, 2013 at 1:32 pm

      Amy

      Plane.
      And Ticket to Ride is the best.

    • March 1, 2013 at 1:33 pm

      Sonya

      Looooove these games!
      I'd rather travel by a plane... but train is the next best thing... followed by the classic automobile.

    • March 1, 2013 at 1:42 pm

      Heather Beardall

      I think I would really like to travel by train somewhere. Just slow down, enjoy the ride, and the company!

    • March 1, 2013 at 1:50 pm

      Adam M

      I think I would choose the train, if given the chance. Planes are great for a quick view, but trains drag it out where you can enjoy it all the way there. Driving you have to worry about who's driving all the time. Not as fun.

    • March 1, 2013 at 2:01 pm

      Kellie

      Plane

    • March 1, 2013 at 2:18 pm

    • March 1, 2013 at 2:57 pm

      Plane so I can go to Hawaii

    • March 1, 2013 at 3:01 pm

      ShaNae

      I would love to take a train some where. It takes longer but it would be fun to take in different surroundings & enjoy the scenery. My husband and I have always wanted to take a train trip through Canada. It would be so fun!!

    • March 1, 2013 at 3:08 pm

      My husband & I have always wanted to take a train ride through Canada. It would be so relaxing & beautiful!

      Given enough time (and leg/sleeping room) I think I'd like to take the train. Although getting to Europe by train could take a while...

    • March 1, 2013 at 3:35 pm

      Kristen

      This game is a lot of fun, can get pretty intense with my parents though, they love it! I would love to travel on a train since I've never done that before.

    • March 1, 2013 at 3:38 pm

      Camille Hoggard

      I would definitely pick a plane as my choice of transportation!

      Depends on the destination. I would say across the country probably automobile.

    • March 1, 2013 at 7:29 pm

      Lisa Olander

      I would travel by all of them....planes to Denmark or Samoa, cars to Florida or Virginia, and trains to California. All my favorite places to go. My kids would love the card game....we have recently discovered this game.

    • March 1, 2013 at 8:06 pm

      Laurel Hanks

      I really like road trips, so I'm going to say traveling by car is my favorite.

    • March 1, 2013 at 10:38 pm

      i would love to travel by train. as i have not been able to travel that way. but being able to just sit back and relax and enjoy the scenery. oh what a joyful time it would be!!!!

      I have never taken the train, but I've always wanted to try it. I love flying and taking car trips have their good moments. Overall I would rather travel on a plane. I shared the link posted on your Facebook page with my friends.

      Andrew

      I would love to travel throughout North America by train! I've never traveled that way, so it's about time I branch out.
