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.

Contents in with base game UK Played 2 handed against Ian - easy to pick up and map looks like it would be cutthroat with lots of players. After repeated playings it feels like it's unbalanced - keep picking up two blind cards until you can do the New York route and worry about other stuff later Pennsylvania played 5 handed and it's lethal - just go for stocks! Pennsylvania Checked the rules - you get a globetrotter bonus of 15 for completing most routes and you DO score for laying tracks despite the absence of a scoring chart

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.
