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.

The map is cool and there is a lot of interaction and players blocking others, but the rule of duplicating points bottered me a litte bit, it is an ok mechanic but not very good and complicate the game more and doesn't make sense.

Another great map, this time awarding bonuses for collecting and using Terrain cards which double the points for the just-built train route. Probably one of the highest scoring TtR maps out there.

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.
