Product Description
Ticket to Ride: Germany takes the elegant route-building gameplay of Ticket to Ride and adds a fresh layer of strategy through collectible passenger meeples. As you build your rail network across the German empire, you will connect cities on your destination tickets, compete for key routes, and gather passengers from the cities you link along the way.
This is a complete standalone Ticket to Ride game, ideal for families, regular game groups, and players who want more depth than the lighter city editions. It is easy to learn, satisfying to play, and offers plenty of replay value through different ticket combinations, route choices, and passenger competition.
