I'm 4 years late it seems. But I agree with something you said and it held true for my family. My childhood was trips to Toysrus and full of Hatboro games. All the staples we considered classics. Monopoly, clue, life, risk, stratego, candy land, guess who and many others. I was also the kid growing into magic the gathering and dnd in school and I collected warhammer fantasy. I wanted to get more into boardgames for years and had trouble finding an entry point. Ticket to ride was the transition point for me and it was something I could actually get my family to play and enjoy well enough. But I won't get them past it I know. They didn't like catan or carcassonne. But they also don't like games with more strategy than risk or ticket to ride. Since we played ticket to ride, I bought clans of caledonia this year and personally fell in love with it. I discovered my love for Eurogames and worker placement games with it. But I tried teaching it to my parents and the entire time they were lost and had no idea what they should do or work towards. It was too complex for them to understand how things in earlier rounds line up to later rounds. I love that kind of build up like a video game myself. So I know I won't get them past ticket to ride to other games.

I have also converted lots of people into board gamers with Ticket to Ride :D Although i like Europe map more, but i wish i had US variant also, so it would be even more easier to teach the game (long routes, stations, ferries, tunnels, just too much for a new gamer). It fascinates almost everyone.

+TheOldMan2084 realy need - this one of a kind when after game you want play again. Even although it looks very simple it becomes very strategic when you play it with expereinced people. and it has a lot of expansions each of add some twist and features to gameplay (only one sadly not great exclusion is TTR:Dice expansion). The only advice: the best way to play TTR is with maximum amount of players which is advised by rules of the map. so for 2-3 players Switzerland and Nordic Countries are great, and for 4-5 players all other maps (excluding Nederland, cuz it's a little specific to start with it).

A slight remark: you don't have to wait until you've completed all your initial tickets to draw new ones. It is a valid strategy to keep drawing more tickets and getting some minus points, but also automatically completing big ones if you have a good position on the map.
