"Ticket to Ride: Latest Update Explores Japan"

May 15,25(6 months ago)

Just a few months after the Switzerland expansion debuted digitally, Ticket to Ride enthusiasts have another exciting map to explore: Japan. This marks the first digital release of the Japan Expansion, introducing a unique twist to the gameplay. In this version, success hinges not only on completing your own tickets but also on teamwork and collaboration.

A highlight of the Japan map is the introduction of the Bullet Train network, a series of high-speed shared routes that crisscross the country. These routes are available for everyone to use, but players are encouraged to contribute to their construction. Failing to collaborate can result in a hefty 20-point penalty at the end of the game, making the balance between competition and cooperation crucial.

Beyond strategic gameplay, the expansion brings two new characters deeply rooted in Japanese culture. Nakanishi Kimiko, a travel blogger, explores Japan's vibrant festivals with her loyal dog, adding a modern touch to the game. On the other hand, Moriyama Isamu, a Gyoji referee, brings a traditional element, connecting players with Japan's rich history.

The expansion also introduces four new train cars to the collection. The Ichi Eki Saki train and Tsuki Sleeper carriage provide a serene, scenic experience, while the Isogaba Maware train and Hayai carriage are designed for speed, ideal for navigating Japan's fast-paced routes.

This expansion is especially timely as Japan becomes a breathtaking destination in springtime, thanks to the sakura blossoms. You can download Ticket to Ride now for $6.99 or your local equivalent by clicking on your preferred link below. For more information, visit the official Facebook page.
