The "plot twist" for this version of Ticket To Ride is the introduction of bridge tokens required for every route. Due to the low laying lands of Netherlands. Making sure you have enough money for tokens as you play the game is sort of interesting, but dealing with all the little tokens in your playing area is sort of annoying. Although the board is beautiful (as most Ticket To Ride boards are) the city names are VERY hard to read since their written in a scripty font. That on top of the fact that you've probably never heard of these places when playing the game, a ton of time is spent staring at the little maps on your tickets trying to figure out where you need to go.

The game-end bonus structure awards points to those who were efficient with their money. Unfortunately, the scale of those points always seems to negate in-game performance. I do not think I've ever played a game where the winner was someone other than whoever scored the 55 point bonus.

The Netherlands map introduces the toll bridge mechanic that changes the game enough to provide the sensation of a new game, even if it isn't for everybody. It's considerably more cutthroat than the original.
