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.

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.
