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.

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.

Not a good volume of the series. The innovation of the track construction where the players choose the colour of the links is more distracting than interesting.
