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.

Another map and another new mechanism to freshen things up a little. In Nederland it's the payment of bridge tolls; the lower the land the higher the fee. The toll for the first track section linking two cities goes to the bank, the toll for the second goes to the player who built the first. That matters because there's a hefty bonus (50) for most money at the end. This all provides a greater incentive to build early and maybe prompts some cost-benefit analysis of expensive late builds (though concealed money makes that difficult). In a game in which a good deal depends on the luck of the ticket draw, it may seem odd to quibble over the bonus for most cash. However, on the evidence of a couple of games, it does feel a bit of a lottery. Artwork and production quality are to the familiar standards of this series. However, the font in which place names are written is a pain.

Good expansion, picks only the mechanics of the base USA games and adds a bridge toll experience to the game. The toll mechanics are very simple and adds well to the game forcing the players to build their routes faster. The map is beautiful, but very easy, just like the USA map.
