Asmodee Ticket to Ride United Kingdom + Pennsylvania Board Game Expansion - Strategy Game, Family Game for Kids & Adults, Ages 8+, 2-5 Players, 30-60 Minute Playtime

Quality game! The two sides of this dual board game are very different. We love the very unique Pennsylvania game, where you never know who wins until stocks are tallied at the end. Multiple strategies are possible. Can’t say i like the UK game. It’s an exercise in frustration. You have to collect a bunch of locomotive cards to buy a myriad of “technology cards” in order to do anything. Too many steps to make progress. Whoever is lucky with drawing lots of engines will win, and others will be blocked while they are still mired on square one. The game as a whole is worth buying, because Pennsylvania offers satisfying entertainment.

This is a great expansion! Not a standalone game like some of the other expansion sets, but adds some really fun and different strategic variables.

Great game

Arrived yesterday and entranced the family for hours, breaking the addiction to the original Ticket to Ride. The family immediately began playing the notorious robber baron, cut-throat Pennsylvania board. We soon discovered one must diversify one's stock holdings, keep an eye on what stocks are available and how many of them are issued to competitors. Be bold and obtain segments of those routes needed quickly while not giving hints of your intended destinations away too quickly. But, one must act fast and decisively if one intends to be the CEO of the greatest conglomerate holdings of the railroads that connect Pennsylvania with connecting states and Canada. Not for the non-competitive family members who might take "umbrage" if one or more of their intended routes are cut-off! The other side of the board, the United Kingdom game is also a very interesting if not decidedly different play. We found it much slower paced as one must decide to obtain advanced technology and pay with locomotive cards, or try to complete routes without the advancement of technology. The spoiler is the route to America which can be completed with locomotives in part, but without technology and rewards a massive amount of points. This is a more cerebral game in many aspects, but still avails the player of the fun and excitement of the Ticket to Ride experience.

We enjoy the series of games. They have different goals and strategies. It sometimes gets very competitive.

This game is unique in that it introduces a new method of play with the Pennsylvania map. On the Pennsylvanian map it introduces stocks which determine how many victory points you get at the end of the game. The rules are a little vague about wither or not you add up your trains that you place as well as the stocks at the end so after some debate we decided to just add up the stocks at the end which after we checked is the way that you play this particular map. Make sure you get as many stocks as you can and lay down early or you may get blocked and not be able to get to your destinations. The map of great Britain also had a unique twist in that you had to buy the ability to build trains into other countries. You start off in England but have to buy the ability to build into France, Ireland, Scotland and Wales. Also you can only build 2 train spots at the beginning of the game and you must buy technologies that allow you to build longer routes and to cross water and so on. The rules were laid out pretty well however you had to constantly look back at them which made the game rather lengthy. This expansion is by far the best one that I've played so far and I have played all of them. I wouldn't spend $40 on it so if you can get it on sale like I did for $25 its worth it. If you love Ticket to Ride its a must have. If you are looking at what expansion to get for Ticket to Ride THIS IS IT!

Note: you must have the original game!! My brother and my sister (sil) introduced us to the original game and while I was extremely hesitant, I’m absolutely addicted and is a must play everytime we’re together so when I saw this, I HAD to get it! It’s all the right things!! You get new destination cards, 2 new boards and a fresh deck of colored. It’s the same game, with a fresh new spin/twist! It’s easy to pick up!! I will say, I think this one is a bit harder then the original, less double track options (making you go the longer routes) and longer routes in general (but worth more points) I’m glad I decided to buy it and recommend it to anyone looking to add to their collection!!

My. husband and I have started having game night every Wednesday night accompanied by some wine. One of the first games we bought was Ticket to Ride and fell in love with it immediately. it was easy to play, a bit competitive and didn't require so much concentration that it ruined our wine buzz. We've since bought the 1910 Expansion Pack, Ticket to Ride Europe and the Nordic version. We thought we didn't need any more versions, but then this one sounded so interesting. I have to point out that this review is only for the Pennsylvania map, we haven't even tried the other side yet! The Pennsylvania side added shares of stock. When you complete a route, you can choose a share of stock to keep. You get points at the end of the game based on the number of shares of stock and how low your numbered stock is. It sounds like it might be confusing, but it's not at all. What makes this so fun is that you really have no idea who is going to win until the stock points are added up. Some stocks are worth more points than others and you learn to go for those first. There is no longest route bonus, so you don't have to focus on that, however there is a bonus for most completed destinations. Between that bonus and getting some good stock, you can surprisingly pull ahead at the end. We've watched some videos on how to play the United Kingdom side and it looks like it adds in several more layers, we'll probably start it soon and I'll come back and edit this review.

Expansión muy buena para el juego Ticket to Ride (Aventureros al Tren, en su versión española). Es importante remarcar que es necesario tener un juego base ya que este como expansión no incluye trenes ni cartas de tren, tan solo mapas nuevos y cartas de destino.

Compris rapidement la nouvelle règle, nickel

Good add-on to the main game (Ticket to Ride Europe). UK rules are complicated. Pennsylvania rules are simpler

Amazon perfetto come sempre, gioco superlativo! Consiglio di comprare anche questa versione di gioco, per chi conosce già Ticket to ride. Tabellone graficamente perfetto carte bellissime, variazioni di gioco intetessanti! 10 e lode!

Melhor expansão de ticket to ride! São 2 mapas com jogabilidades bem diferentes e excelente fator replay. Em um deles vc a cada rota ganha ações das companhias que podem mudar todo a pontuação e no outro vc compra as autorizações para fazer titãs maiores, além de ganhar diversos bônus.
