   Fun version of TtR. The maps is really clustered based on the terrain colors and this makes it a very tricky map if you get blocked. There are few "wild" routes and you are forced to collect the specific colors. Just like with ferries, the addition of terrain cards make choosing locomotives even more tempting. Also there is more of a "push your luck" element to the game, as have the tension of completing a route to secure it, or wait a little longer to get the double points. Great expansion for those who are tired of vanilla TtR.

   I don't like the clusters of colors on the map. Also, the terrain cards are a nice idea, but it prevents us from waiting until the end to score. Sold because it never gets played anymore.

   This is the only expansion I have played and ended up in a situasjon where my only option was to block. We where 2 players, and early in the game all my tickets was made impossible by blocking all entrances to one city. For the rest of the game I just blocked the other player as hard as I could. That's not fun. If you are looking for an expansion for Ticket to Ride, I would recomend another. Like UK, India and Switzerland or Netherlands.
