Сторона с Францией на просчёт, с диким западом более менее лайтовая, но можно тырить очки

France should not get top billing on this expansion. That map is a train wreck (pun intended) that I hope to never play again. Adding an extra step and decision point to every single turn where players take train cards is just a horrible decision. It slows the game down to a crawl, and half the time someone doesn't even care or know what color to make tracks so they just throw down random tiles hoping they'll luck into more of that color. So bad! On the other hand Old West is a treat. I love how it mixes up the way people build, and the limitations it creates by stopping people from jumping all over the board. It forces you to plan ahead with where you place your initial city, and there are additional opportunities to throw down a city to block opponents or force them to give you points. This map makes this expansion a keeper.

Definitely the gamers' version of TtR (although, Uk, Marklin and Africa all nod in that direction too). France is an excellent variant - exactly what the game needed - a truly fresh addition rather than another map that merely went half-heartedly into a change. Let's be clear - this absolutely will NOT suit the average family gathering and you couldn't play it with kids, beginners or your aunt Maud. However, stick this in with veteran TtR -ers or a gaming group and it's likely to be a big hit. Potentially extremely cut-throat. I'd say that the grey colours on the map are overdone and this may be a problem for some - especially since the map is very crowded. I have not played Old West yet, but the board looks great and I love the ide of Alvin starting in Roswell! Definitely one of the better issues in the Collection, though if you already have several, it may get a bit much to buy them all unless you are more of a collector than a gamer.
