Ticket to Ride Europe

From the ramparts of Edinburgh to the docks of Constantinople, from the dusty alleys of Pamplona to the frozen platforms of the great railway station of Saint Petersburg, Ticket to Ride Europe takes you on a journey through Europe in the 1900s. Ticket to Ride Europe is the second volume in our popular Ticket to Ride series, which has won awards in Germany, France and Japan. More than just a new map, this version incorporates new routes (tunnels and ferries), and new playing pieces, the stations. New large-format playing cards complete this first-class treatment. When we decided together with Alan Moon, the designer of the game, to offer you a new adventure, we wanted to offer you not just a map, but rather a new gaming experience through Europe in the early 20th century. New material: * A map of Europe in 1900, and the corresponding destination tickets. * New, larger cards, compatible with the first version, and with new illustrations. * New rooms: the stations * A new access card number in order to be able to play online, with of course the online version of Ticket to Ride Europe coming soon. Changes to the rules: * Long-distance tickets are now given to each player at the start of the game. There are 6 of them. If players decide not to keep these tickets, they are then removed from the game for the rest of the game. * Ferries: Crossing the seas surrounding Europe has a cost. Each ferry requires at least one locomotive card, as indicated on the tracks. * Tunnels: Mountains are quickly crossed as long as you use the tunnels. Venturing into a tunnel is risky. When trying to cross a tunnel, the player first plays the number of cards of the required color. Then he turns over the top three cards of the Wagon card deck. For each card thus revealed that is the same color as the cards used to cross the tunnel, the player must now add a new Wagon card of the same color. Once these have been played, the player can take possession of the tunnel. * Stations: This is first of all a new piece of the game but also another possible action on your turn. Each station can be built on a city, to be able to use, at the end of the game, the line of an opposing player in order to reach their destinations. Stations are very useful when you find yourself completely blocked, especially on the map of Europe, which is more difficult than the first American version. However, each unused station earns its owner 4 points at the end of the game.
