Ticket to Ride: Nordic Countries takes you on a Nordic adventure through Denmark, Finland, Norway, and Sweden as you travel to the great northern cities of Copenhagen, Oslo, Helsinki, and Stockholm. This version was initially available only in the Nordic Countries of Denmark, Norway, Sweden, and Finland; a worldwide limited-edition release occurred in August 2008 and it has since been kept in print again by Days of Wonder.

This is of the same good quality with the rest of the TtR family, i.e., one of the best casual family games in the market. However, I really do not like the tunnel mechanic with its random take that aspect. In this sense, TtR Nordic Countries is on the same line with TtR Europe. But what sets TtR Nordic apart is that it really shines with 2-3 players. Compared to the original game, the board of Nordic version is also much tighter with low player numbers forcing the players to make some early plays instead of just hoarding cards. And compared to the Märklin edition, Nordic edition less fiddly sharing the elegancy of the original. Original = Best for families with 4-5 players Märklin = Most satisfactory for gamers Nordic = Best for families with 2-3 players Europe = worst of the bunch in all aspects

Rating TTR series as a whole. My favorite for a 2-3 player version of Ticket to Ride. Probably doesn't play well with super aggressive players. In our house we seem to have an unstated gentleman's agreement that you don't claim a route purely to screw another player (i.e, we claim the routes we are using to complete our tickets, we don't just claim routes to prevent others from completing their tickets). After a few plays, it is pretty easy to figure out which destinations people are building towards when they make certain moves, so with aggressive players it is very easy to just block a key route and completely break the other person's game (particularly in a two player game where double routes can't be utilized). If everyone plays aggressively and enjoys it then at the end everyone can laugh about the winner being the person with the negative score closest to zero (aptly described as "Blood in the Snow"). My group tends to not favor that type of play generally, so playing with an aggressive player on this map would likely just spoil the experience.

Good quick playing cutthroat 2 player TtR, uncluttered by unnecessary extra mechanics. The long Murmansk run can be destabilizing though.
