I'd say yes, TS is best thought of as being part of the Card Driven Area Control family; it is on the low end of the complexity scale for such …playing such.Any other games in the family will teach you the general mechanics, without being 'the same.' All that being said, I'd try Hannibal, first; it's less punishing for beginners while being asymmetric; it is closer to Risk.
