Ticket to Ride Africa Expansion Board Game

Product Information

Players claim a route by playing the set number of cards according to the colour and length of the route. Grey routes, like the base game, can be any colour of the player’s choice. Players will then earn points for the length of the route they have just built. The number of cards needed to double the Route value also depends on the length of the Route. For one, two, and three space routes, one Terrain card of the matching color is needed. For four, five, and six space routes, two are required. Sadly – but expectedly, I’ll grudgingly admit – all Locomotives played as Wild Terrain cards have to be discarded. Madagascar and Other Countries

Shuffle the Destination cards and deal three to each player, two of which must be kept while the rest can be discarded Aside from merely connecting cities and towns, what facts and features of Australia might serve to help differentiate such a game from the USA and Europe versions? Given that Australia is mostly desert, with major population centers around the coastline (and smaller ones like Alice Springs, Tennant Creek, and Kalgoorlie in the interior), how could this work? However, multiple routes leading to all other countries are dead ends. Basically, this means that routes leading into the same country are not connected with each other. I’ve made this mistake many times, so pay close attention! End of Game BonusOne side will show a map of the United Kingdom, including Great Britain and Ireland, set in the 19th Century, at the dawn of the railroad revolution.

Keep an eye on the face-up cards; if three of them are Locomotives, all five cards need to be discarded and replaced.

If you end up with a Locomotive card, you’re not allowed to draw a second one. And if you draw a Locomotive card as your second card, you also can’t take it. Frustrating, I know! Answer: Um…is the earth not round? Of course, it is, and likewise, there are loads of strategic opportunities in this game! Here’s my advice: Because of this freedom to choose, the whole game becomes more challenging. You never know what will happen, and there’s more breathing room to deploy a creative strategy.
