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.

What makes the basic Ticket to Ride such a good gateway game is its simplicity: yet, by both introducing the terrain cards and overdoing the single tracks all over the map insomuch that it’s now impossible to change any plan you made on the fly in case something goes wrong, the Africa expansion makes playing it pointlessly harder and in doing so also strips the game of any hint of fun it still has.

The best map expansion. Terrain cards that can double any given route are a huge strategic mixer. Love the new mechanics despite not liking the theme so much.

A lot to keep in mind for this expansion (like not mixing the similar-sounding terrain & train cards, and not forgetting to have a second terrain card for routes of length 4 or more to double the point value), that awards bonus points to the majority-holder of applicable terrain cards. My first impression is that this expansion is under-rated, and probably much, much more difficult at a higher player count.
