Ticket to Ride® Companion

You want a clean couch-board-game night without the awkward lean-and-peek routine. This app does one job and it does it plainly: it moves your secret hand to your phone so nobody at the table sees your tickets or cards. Set up is straightforward: boot the main game on your console or Steam, choose ‘Couch’, type the code shown on the big screen into your phone app, and boom—your hand goes private. Short paragraph: it’s not trying to be fancy. It’s a privacy tool for in-person play. "Wait—how do I play then?" someone always asks. You still pick cards and claim routes on the big screen. The app shows your tickets and private cards only to you. You drag, tap, confirm. That’s it. I used it with a chaotic family session (my sister cheated—no, seriously). I had my tickets safe on my phone while the rest of them shouted at the map. It felt weirdly satisfying. Pause. It’s not perfect. Sometimes the pairing wants both devices on the same network; sometimes it works over internet. Don’t assume miracles—be ready to refresh the code and breathe. A brief dialogue, because I love recreating the chaos: Player: "I can see your cards!" Me: "Nope. You wish. They’re on my phone." The app targets people who own the base title on PlayStation, Switch, Xbox, or Steam and who still prefer face-to-face play with modern conveniences. Families, tabletop groups, and anyone who hates accidental peeks will like this. It’s not for solo players. It’s not a full digital port. It’s a bridge—simple, stubborn, and human. Small caveat: if you expect cloud saves or cross-platform game hosting here, don’t. This is a companion — it keeps secrets, not miracles. But if you want your private tickets actually private while the rest of the table speculates, this app delivers.
