Ticket to Ride: Europe is a complete, new game and does not require the original version.
More than just a new 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.
The overall goal remains the same: collect and play train cards in order to place your pieces on the board, attempting to connect cities on your ticket cards. Points are earned both from placing trains and completing tickets but uncompleted tickets lose you points. The player who has the most points at the end of the game wins.

Its a classic for a reason. My family love it and its one game that the casual visitor with little interest in games will play. Nice and colorful components. Suitable for all ages.

Ticket to Ride: Europe is an above-average strategy game. There's a lot of planning and you really have to try to figure out what your opponents are doing, otherwise, they might take valuable tracks before you can. There's a fairly good skill element to this game, but if I have a complaint, it's that there is a significant luck element in which routes you draw at the beginning of the game. It can be difficult to win with some of the Western European routes, and there's one high-scoring route between two cities that vastly superior to all others. In this sense, the game ends up being a bit like Risk in that there are really only maybe 3-4 viable winning strategies against good players. All the same, it's still a fun game with a lot of strategy. I think somewhere around a "7" is probably an appropriate rating.

I love this game. The tunnels, ferries, and stations add a little more depth than the original game.
