While Pennsylvania is merely OK, it's the United Kingdom map that brings Ticket to Ride to a whole new level in my eyes. Using any four cards as a single wildcard makes top decking not annoying, and having to separately buy your abilities to lay track into different spots adds an engine building aspect to the game. You simply cannot hoard a massive number of cards, but have to start building very early instead. This is the expansion that brought back my interest to play Ticket to Ride. It's not really a good fit for beginners, but very satisfying for people who've already seen it all.
Badger on the move
UK. Much more fiddly than the basic game with permits required to travel across the water and to different countries from England. A case of more equals length. Tony guided Steph through. Big swings can be caused by failing connections which are usually thwarted unintentionally. A plus for a gateway game, but not much fun. This has always been my least favourite aspect of the TTR games.

THANKS, SECRET ATTICUS 2015! Variable mechanisms will add some hinky twists to an old favorite. Penn, with its stock options, looks particularly good. While I'll admit to be weary of TtR, everyone in the family enjoys it, and it's accessible to my nine-year-old, so I'm happy enough for the opportunity to game with my family. [u]Update[/u]: Nine-year-old L was not fond of the stock option. Fourteen-year-old R looked sideways at the notion of technologies, but she's taken to the stocks.
