Netflix Boards Popular Board Game Ticket to Ride
17 Feb
Summary
- Netflix secured global rights for a Ticket to Ride movie adaptation.
- The game has sold over 20 million copies worldwide since 2004.
- This follows Netflix's similar deal for the board game Catan.

Netflix has acquired the exclusive global rights to develop projects based on the popular board game Ticket to Ride. The streaming giant is planning a feature film adaptation, with Ben Mekler and Chris Amick attached to write the script.
This development comes shortly after Netflix secured similar rights for Asmodee's other successful board game, Catan. Darren Kyman, Alan R. Moon, and others are set to produce the film.
Ticket to Ride, first released in 2004, has achieved significant global success, selling over 20 million copies and being translated into more than 30 languages. The game's premise involves players collecting cards to claim railway routes connecting cities on a map.
The acquisition aligns with Netflix's strategy of adapting popular games into screen content, joining an existing slate that includes Arcane, Castlevania, and upcoming series for Assassin's Creed and Monopoly.
