This is a case of a poorly-researched article, pure and simple.As one concrete example, the reviewer got through a game of Pandemic, yet complained that Ticket to Ride was too complicated. Ticket To Ride is an incredibly simple game with a very short and concise rulebook and easy to understand rules. Pandemic is a much more complicated game. So it is, frankly, completely unthinkable that someone would be capable of figuring out Pandemic but not capable of figuring out Ticket To Ride. Thus, this serves as (one bit of) evidence to many of us that the reviewer did not even try to play the game. Maybe it was completely disingenuous, maybe it was just a case of Ticket To Ride being the last game after a full day's worth of trying to learn new games, but the fact of the matter is the reviewer clearly didn't put as much research into it as they should have.</blockquote>
