Rating decreased from 7.5 due to luck involved in whether others use your track and tickets. Tolls are a bit random and worth too much.

My wife is a dedicated Ticket to Ride fan, and she'll normally support me picking up any expansion for the game. I'm a little less enthusiastic, but even I have to admit that each expansion that Days of Wonder releases adds something new to the game and is very well thought out. This expansion is second only to the team versions of the Asia expansion. The need to pay tolls adds a new element to the game and encourages players to claim routes sooner instead of simply hoarding cards. I'm rating this after only one play with two players, but I'm enthusiastic to play this some more. The two player game requires a "dummy" player, but it actually works quite well. In fact, this map might be one of the best options for two behind something like Nordic countries.

The Nederland Map Collection is a failed attempt at making Ticket to Ride a little harder: actually the beauty of the original game comes from its simplicity, which the tolls you have to pay (to either the bank or another player who built the same track as you before you) utterly spoil, as they put too much strategy and control into an otherwise straightforward game.
