Is this a good 2 player game?

Yes! My husband and I play all of the various Ticket to Ride maps often. Each has their own little specialties and therefore adding in people changes game play. This is solid for 2 people though. Know that the boxed game comes with small cards~ if you prefer holding regular deck card size you will want to purchase the 1910 Expansion.

How does this compare to Ticket To Ride: Europe?

The original Richey to Ride is by far the best. We have them all. 2nd best is Europe.

What are recommended ages?

I played with the kids I babysit ages 6, 8, and 10. The 10 year old picked it up fast beating me the 2nd time we played, the 8 year old also had no trouble being right behind me the first time she play. The 6 year old had some trouble understanding the concept at first but eventually somewhat understood. I do however help them when they get a little stuck (not very often) to make it more challenging for me otherwise I'd beat them too easily...

I have a 5 year old son. Do you think he would enjoy it if we read the cards to him or is he too young?

As far as I am thinking 8 or 9 would be best age. There are many, many really great games for 5 year olds. Check out BGG then go to children's games like Looping Louie, Gulo Gulo, Pyramid, Magic Labyrinth, Catan Junior, and of course My First Carcassone. When you get the info on the game then look at the list for kids. Those are just a few goodies. If anyone is wanting to get Ticket to Ride the 10th Anniversary game is the way to go for 8 and up. It is a good gateway game..
