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.

Great ideas went into this game and a great board came out. The bridge toll tokens make sense and are well produced, but Netherlands really loses its edge that Ticket to Ride gains for simplicity.

BGG Secret Santa 2016 Key differences: ticket values are inflated (from 12 to 35 points); unused tickets are discarded face-up, shuffled when pile is exhausted; players have a supply of bridge tokens that they have to pay whenever they build a route - prices vary from 1 to 4, and if a parallel route has already been built, the first builder receives the fee; the vast majority of the tracks are parallel; the only bonus is for the most bridge tokens remaining, and it's huge (up to 55 points); you can go into debt on the bridge tokens for a point penalty.
