Tickets are worth an insane amount of points, first game with the 55 point bonus, winner was in the 250's which is excessive.... My Group didn't like this one at all (Its still TTR to me...) IMO they took a step back. The bridges didn't add that much strategy, especially since Routes that are one link away were worth 15+ points in some case? You can complete tickets all day long in this one and still score a ton! Maybe the rating will go up after more plays... but its going to be a while before my group probably even allows me to bring this near the table, little lone play it again.

While I'm starting to think no Ticket to Ride map will ever come close to the awesomeness of the Team Asia map, this one is definitely a keeper. The bridge tolls add one more thing to think about but don't add much complexity at all. It also appears that you can take a couple strategies on the tolls as well, because it is possible to just outscore other players strictly with destination tickets, so you might disregard the toll bonuses altogether. The map is beautiful, and I like that you can play it without using any special rules as well if you want. I only have 2 minor nitpicks with this expansion map. First of all, the box insert of the expansion doesn't have a hole big enough for the bag of toll tokens. Not a huge deal, but kind of annoying. Secondly, and considerably more irritating, the font on the destination cards is much different from the font on the board, making it difficult to locate the cities quickly. However, minor complaints aside, this is a quality map and I'll be keeping it unlike a couple of the other Ticket to Ride expansion maps.

Our first game was a 2 player with neutral player. Quite good. Neutral player took up some great routes and affected both of us. Bonus did not make a difference as my wife got the bonus but I still won. Second game with 4 players. Much more cut-throat. The bonus here did make quite a difference overall. I tend to think it is a bit overbalanced in points. Next play will be 5 players. one major negative factor with this board...the FONT used for towns is absolutely terrible. Very difficult to read, even looking at it directly, let alone from sides or upside down.
