More than just a different map: Ticket to Ride: Europe features brand new gameplay elements. Tunnels may require you to pay extra cards to build on them, ferries require locomotive cards in order to claim them and stations allow you to sacrifice a few points in order to use an opponent’s route to connect yours. The game also includes larger format cards and train station game pieces. A stand-alone game: Like the original Ticket to Ride, the game remains elegantly simple, can be learned in 5 minutes and appeals to both families and experienced gamers. From the craggy hillsides of Edinburgh to the sunlit docks of Constantinople, from the dusty alleys of Pamplona to a windswept station in Berlin, Ticket to Ride Europe takes you on an exciting train adventure through the great cities of turn-of-the-century Europe. Players travel across Europe to score the highest total number of points by claiming routes between two cities, completing Destination Tickets, and competing to claim the longest continuous path of routes across the map! The map board of Europe offers aspiring train magnates plenty of options to create their strategies. Will you risk a trip through Switzerland's dark Tunnels? Perhaps you’ll venture forth on a Ferry across the Black Sea? Or maybe you’ll erect lavish train Stations in the great capitals of the old empires! With the introduction of Ferries to Ticket to Ride Europe, players will now utilize powerful Locomotive cards to claim unique routes not possible in the original game. Tunnels are another feature in Ticket to Ride Europe offering players a unique experience where they are never sure how many train cards it will take to get through until they try! Ticket to Ride Europe's new Stations will allow players to utilize routes that are not their own to fulfill Destination tickets. However, those who forgo this help are awarded additional points at the end of the game! Players can now experience First-Class accommodations with the introduction of larger cards that display the beautiful train cars art and routes across Europe. Like the Spiel des Jahres winning original game, Ticket to Ride Europe remains elegantly simple and easy to learn. It is an entirely new experience that does not require the original Ticket to Ride to play and is guaranteed to offer you hours of enjoyment.
