Rating after playing the Old West map. Solid tweak to the system! Honestly I tend to play by expanding my existing routes anyway, but this now telegraphs to others what cards you want and where you might expand. Great addition to the TTR collection. Update: and with one play of the France map, I can say this might be my favourite map expansion. Both maps shake up the game in a novel way. Highly recommended for any TTR Fans that want a challenge for more experienced players.

This is a great twist on the original game. This does exactly what I want an expansion to do! Adds a few new elements without changing the original gameplay too much. The first change involves every player now having up to 3 cities. You are able to place one at the beginning of the game and then the others can be placed on future turns. The cities provide you with a chance to earn points from other people's routes. This twist presents players with tough decisions. Once the board begins filling up you may be forced to claim a route where you don't earn the points that you have worked so hard for. I thought this change was brilliant! It more decisions to make without overcomplicating the game. The other change is you may only build off of your train, you cannot place route that is not connected to you. Although this restriction was frustrating at times, I felt like this was a restriction that enhanced gameplay. It really required you to rethink some of your strategy. Overall, this is great addition to Ticket to Ride. The combination of cities and train placement make for gameplay with few more decisions to make and strategies to consider. I wonder if after several plays cities will be played in the same spot. I do think once routes become memorized the cities will be rather predictable. However, this isn't a game I see myself overplaying. This is all about the Old West map. I look forward to playing the France side and I wonder if that may even increase my rating to an 8.5. Great game! Highly recommend if you like Ticket to Ride.
