About

Ticket to Ride is the official digital adaptation of Alan R. Moon's award-winning railway-themed board game, in which players collect train-car cards to claim railway routes across a map and complete secret destination tickets. This was the long-running Days of Wonder / Asmodee Digital version sold on Steam, supporting single-player matches against AI, local pass-and-play, and online multiplayer with cross-play to mobile editions. It was delisted on October 3, 2023, when publisher Asmodee replaced it with a separately-sold, rebuilt edition (a different Steam product), leaving the original Classic Edition no longer available for purchase. The original release remains a faithful, well-regarded conversion of one of the best-selling modern board games.

⚙ Setup notes

Delisted: Delisted Steam game (appid 108200, removed Oct 3 2023 to make way for a new separate release under appid 2477010 — the Classic Edition is no longer sold).

Game: Days of Wonder / Asmodee digital adaptation of the board game; the install folder (steamapps/common/Ticket to Ride) ships Ticket to Ride.exe (note the spaces in both the folder and the exe name). ProtonDB tier gold (strong confidence, ~40 reports) and community discussions confirm the Windows build runs on Linux/Proton with no special tricks.

Proton: Runs out of the box on GE-Proton (proton_experimental also works); no DRM/GFWL, no widescreen patch needed.

Controller: This is a point-and-click board game with no native gamepad support — drive it with the Deck's touchscreen, or apply a Steam Input layout that maps the right trackpad to the mouse and a button to left-click (the Mouse Only / desktop-style community template works well).

The one thing to know

Supply your own copy: deckport configures the prefix only.

Delisted: Delisted from Steam on Oct 3 2023 (Classic Edition appid 108200 no longer for sale; the newer appid 2477010 is a separate product).

Status: ProtonDB gold + community reports confirm it runs under Proton on Deck, but this exact recipe has not been Deck-verified yet, hence needs-test.

Controller: No native controller support — plan on the touchscreen or a Steam Input mouse/trackpad layout.

Online: Online/multiplayer features may be degraded if matchmaking servers have been retired; local hotseat and pass-and-play remain fine.

Community guides

Write-ups and threads from people who got this (or a similar) game running. deckport links to them — it doesn't reproduce them.

Get the artwork

deckport never hosts game images. Open this game on SteamGridDB, pick the cover / hero / logo / icon you like, and drop them into the game folder under .deckport-art/ before you push it to the Deck. The importer files them under the right names automatically.

Run it on your Deck

Two files: the one-time importer (deckport.py) in your Deck's home folder, and this game's install helper. Copy the game into ~/Games and run the helper with Steam closed — it writes the recipe (binary, launch options, Proton version) and registers the shortcut with artwork.
