Embark on a thrilling virtual journey with the latest expansion for Ticket to Ride, now featuring a Japan map. Developed by Marmalade Game Studio and Asmodee Entertainment, this digital expansion brings the beloved board game to new heights, allowing players to experience Japan in a whole new way.
Help Build the Train Network
For the first time, the iconic Japan map from the physical version of Ticket to Ride is available on digital platforms. However, this digital rendition offers a twist: instead of solely focusing on building your own train empire, you'll contribute to a national Bullet Train network that benefits all players. It's a cooperative endeavor with a strategic edge.
While you can adopt a sneaky approach, hoping others will do the heavy lifting while you accumulate points, be wary of the game's karma system. Neglecting your Bullet Train responsibilities can cost you a hefty 20 points at the end of the game. So, even if you're plotting to outsmart your friends, you'll need to contribute to the communal effort.
The Japan Expansion introduces two new characters to enrich your gameplay. Meet Nakanishi Kimiko, a travel blogger who's all about exploring Japan's vibrant festival scene with her dog. Then there's Moriyama Isamu, a gyōji or sumo referee, adding a touch of Japan's rich cultural heritage to the game, beyond just trains and maps.
Ticket to Ride Has Upgraded Trains with the Japan Expansion
Enhance your collection with the Japan Expansion's new trains and carriages. You can now ride the Ichi Eki Saki train and the Tsuki Sleeper carriage for a more relaxed journey. For those in a hurry, the Isogaba Maware train and the Hayai carriage offer speed and efficiency.
With spring in the air, the Japan map's seasonal charm is sure to enhance your gaming experience. The Japan Expansion is available for download now, perfect for those looking to spice up their Ticket to Ride sessions. Grab it from the Google Play Store and start your journey today.
