Does Moon have any other original thought? Enough all ready. Picked it up cheap, that passenger pick up kind of ruins this, causes too much blocking because of people trying to cash in on those passenger points. The passenger pickup mechanism, that is different, works in the Märklin version because of their limited use numbers. You know they could have easily added the Marklin passenger cards, the extra locomotives and you could have played that version with this set. The only thing going for this version is it has the standard cards and train count as the regular versions so unlike the Märklin version you can play the non standard alone versions with this version. Marklin is the better game over this version. This is best played without the passengers.

Ticket to Ride: Germany is a standalone game in the Ticket to Ride series. Over the course of the game, players collect cards in order to then claim routes on the game board between two cities. Ideally the players create a network of routes that connect the cities showing on their secret ticket cards. Players score points both for claiming routes and for completing tickets, with incomplete tickets counting against a player's score. In addition to scoring points for tickets, whenever a player places a route on the board, they claim a passenger from the two cities that form the endpoints for that route (assuming that the passengers have not already been claimed). At the end of the game, whoever has the most passengers of each of the six colors scores 20 points for that color; whoever has the secondmost passengers in a color scores 10 points. Whoever has the most points at the end of the game wins. Ticket to Ride: Germany combines most of Zug um Zug: Deutschland and the Deutschland 1902 expansion in one box. Zug um Zug: Deutschland, published solely for the German and Austrian market, consisted of the same map as Ticket to Ride: Märklin, but ZuZ:D didn't include the passenger mechanism from Märklin in which players scored additional points by moving passengers from city to city. The Deutschland 1902 expansion introduced a different method of scoring passengers, and that method is now present in this collection.

Germany was our fourth TTR board. I bought it because it was my favorite of the online versions. Meeples became not only a game changer but an inspiration for creating my own game tokens and rules for TTR expansion games. I have designed and fabricated tokens from metal for the US, Euro, and Asia boards and have developed varying rules on how these tokens are used. Some tokens are board specific, even city-specific, while others are nomads that can be used in cities with cultural connections. I am truly a board game geek. I would like to take these ideas to market, but the cost of producing the tokens my way - as an aerospace machinist - would never work. I have spent hundreds of dollars on my sets of tokens, not including my labor.
