Old West: After the original dealing of tickets, players choose a home town and builds outward from there. Players can't just connect any two cities. This is an intriguing dilemma. Plus this can be played by six players.

My rating so far is only for the Old West map. This is a devilish challenge for experienced TtR players (and might be a fair entry point for novice players). On the one hand, you can't jump to a spot to claim a second set of tracks if it looks like you're about to be blocked, and struggling to not give an opponent a lot of points is rough. But on the other hand, it makes branching your route more attractive, and it becomes immediately apparent when you should ditch a route and grab new tickets. I'm not sure I need to own this one but I wouldn't turn down another play.

Having played the Old West Map, I am a fan of this version of Ticket to Ride. In fact, it is officially my favorite version of Ticket to Ride. I love how you must branch out from your initial starting position, which reminded me of the Trans Europa and Trans America games which I do like. And I like the cities placement decisions, which add an interesting wrinkle to think about in the basic scoring mechanics of TTR, which I think might make for some interesting replayability IF equally skilled players play, and the final results depend substantially upon where and when you placed your cities. Our game was a six player game, and I like the fact that this expansion allows for six, making the game very interactive and a decent game to pull out when you have six players who want to play a basic to medium euro, along the lines of say Medici. Looking at the France side, it looks like it too could be an interesting play.
