Ticket to Ride Map Collection Vol 1: Asia Expansion

About this product

Two maps, two very different railway adventures across Asia.

2–6 Players | Ages 8+ | 30–60 Minutes | Compatible Ticket to Ride Base Game Required

Expand Ticket to Ride with two new Asian maps featuring competitive exploration in Legendary Asia and team-based railway building in Team Asia.

Product Description

Take your Ticket to Ride journeys east with Ticket to Ride Map Collection Vol 1: Asia, an expansion featuring two different maps and new ways to experience the familiar railway-building game.

In Team Asia, designed by Alan R. Moon, players pair up and embark on a 25,000 kilometre railway journey stretching from Kabul to Beijing, across the steppes of Mongolia, through the Gobi Desert and towards the Yellow River.

Team Asia introduces a dedicated team format for 4 or 6 players. Partners share their score while managing both private and shared Train cards and Destination Tickets. Communication is limited, so working together is about reading the developing railway network and making the most of the information you are allowed to share.

For a different challenge, Legendary Asia, designed by François Valentyne, takes players along the Silk Road, through Indochina and across the demanding mountain passes of the Himalayas.

With two maps in one expansion, Asia gives Ticket to Ride players fresh destinations and two distinct styles of railway adventure.
