Days of Wonder Ticket to Ride Asia Board Game Expansion Ages 8 Plus For 2 to 6 players Average Playtime 30-60 Minutes, Multicolour

Love this expansion, especially (and surprisingly) the Pennsylvania variant. I bought this mainly because it features familiar local places names which I thought would be fun for the kids, and to add some additional variety to our Ticket to Ride games (we used to play Europe with the 1912 expansion) of course, but ended up really loving this version.The UK variant, which was the primary reason for buying, is nice but feels like a quite a lot of hassle for not a lot of additional fun. The Pennsylvania version with it's railroad stocks system though is really great and has quickly become my favourite version of the game, the wife and kids love it as well. What would really make this version perfect for me is if you could play it on the Europe map with original European railroad companies, but that's for a future version perhaps :)In any case, great expansion, absolutely worth the money, especially if you can buy it with a good discount!

I started with Europe, then brought the Nordic ticket to ride and have now got this extension pack that features a double sided board and two packs of destination cards for both countries. One side is India at the time of the Raj and the other side is Switzerland with bordering countries shown. Please note that you need to have ticket to ride USA or Europe to play it as there are no 'train pieces', 'counters' or 'carriage cards'.Although the premises of all ticket to ride games are similiar - each country always has slight differences. The India game is good for just 2 or 3 players as you can get quite competitive trying to take control of all the tiny routes in the middle of India. There is also extra points if you have encircled your destinations in a 'mandela'. I quite enjoy this, but it is not worth trying to create them especially as you could get as many points taking the longer routes around the coast which are worth a lot of points.Switzerland is very different - and because it features the boundaries of France, Germany, Italy and Austria on the board, you need to be quite strategic in your thinking to get a route into these additional countries. A lot of the destination cards give you a huge amount of extra points if you have. So it is not only about the number of destinations that you have covered but also how many of the cards you have picked up that give you extra points for connecting all the other european countries.As with all ticket to ride games this extension pack is well made and attractive. The games strategies and ways of getting points are very different so each country provides a good contrast. I have thoroughly enjoyed both countries - India is better with just a couple of players, Switzerland with more.

Brilliant game that is our go to for family games night.

Mere than with any other game, I have come to see each variant, expansion and new version of Ticket To Ride (or Zug Um Zug as we call it in our house) as definitely worth having. The beauty of them is that there is so little to learn each time in terms of new rules, and yet each has its own character and challenge. The conventional side is far from boring, but the real purpose of this set is the Team Asia side, which is the most radical variant of all (and the one with the most to learn - though it is not arduous by any means). It is really quite clever - two players make up a team and play individually in succession (but for a common score). They share a certain amount of information about what tickets and coach cards the other has, but can increase the amount of information at the expense of doing one of the usual allowable moves. So it replaces the usual three-way choice of what to do now with a four-way choice. A very nice hybrid between team and individual play. There does need to be an agreement to keep within the spirit of the rules as it is quite easy (and tempting) for players to drop too heavy hints, effectively telling their partner what to do and thereby spoiling the balance that the rules create. Can only be played by 4 or 6 players, while the other side can be played by any number from 2-5 and works (and works fine as a two-player game).

This game can be played individually or as a pair but beware - there will be disputes. Thoroughly enjoyed the variation and working with another, but you need to think on the same lines as your partner. Our husband and wife team ended up fraught!

Had great time over Christmas playing this with the family - all adults! was fun and enjoyable

Bought this a few months ago after being introduced to Ticket to Ride (Europe). In general, TTR has to be the best board game there is. But this version blew us away. We've bought three other TTR versions since; this one, however, is still the firm favourite in my household. We originally got it just for the UK map, but both the UK and the Pennsylvania versions are so much fun! At first, the new mechanics seem daunting. After the first play-through of both though, we found them to be awesome editions. Honestly, if you love any of the base games of TTR & only ever get just one expansion — make it this one!

The product apears brand new inside box. But the box is particular damage which is disapointing
