Set in the vast wilderness of Africa at the height of its exploration by intrepid explorers, missionaries and adventurers, Ticket to Ride Map Collection: Volume 3 – The Heart of Africa, a single-sided expansion map for Ticket to Ride or Ticket to Ride: Europe, focuses on the central and southern “heart” of the continent displayed in a vertical format.

At one time I would have said this is easily the worst Ticket to Ride map. There are some recent expansion maps that have a side which I find far worse, but I still don't like the Africa map. The map is set up in an annoying way with all the same colors clustered together. The terrain cards are a tedious extra element to the game which don't add enough positives to make up for the opportunities for being mean to other players. It's just too many elements that don't bring the kind of fun I'm accustomed to from Ticket to Ride. This is where I wish they didn't number these expansions, because I hate that there is one I won't bother to keep in my collection, so my shelf doesn't have a nice complete set of numbers.

I have played all the maps now except Marklin and Nordic and this is the most different of all due to the extra choices from the terrain cards (when to lay track and use them, when to incorporate a locomotive, when to take blindly etc). The centre of the map is very tight as well! This is great and the artwork is beautiful. I would recommend this as the first map pack to purchase despite it only being single sided.

Having to make a choice between train and terrain cards adds an interesting twist that slightly increases the difficulty of the game.
