Days of Wonder | Ticket to Ride France Board Game EXPANSION | Ages 8+ | For 2 to 5 players | Average Playtime 30-60 Minutes

This is a brilliant family game that is lots of fun for everyone. This is the expansion, so only buy if you've already got the original.

I started with Europe, then brought the Nordic ticket to ride and have now got this extension pack that features a double sided board and two packs of destination cards for both countries. One side is India at the time of the Raj and the other side is Switzerland with bordering countries shown. Please note that you need to have ticket to ride USA or Europe to play it as there are no 'train pieces', 'counters' or 'carriage cards'.Although the premises of all ticket to ride games are similiar - each country always has slight differences. The India game is good for just 2 or 3 players as you can get quite competitive trying to take control of all the tiny routes in the middle of India. There is also extra points if you have encircled your destinations in a 'mandela'. I quite enjoy this, but it is not worth trying to create them especially as you could get as many points taking the longer routes around the coast which are worth a lot of points.Switzerland is very different - and because it features the boundaries of France, Germany, Italy and Austria on the board, you need to be quite strategic in your thinking to get a route into these additional countries. A lot of the destination cards give you a huge amount of extra points if you have. So it is not only about the number of destinations that you have covered but also how many of the cards you have picked up that give you extra points for connecting all the other european countries.As with all ticket to ride games this extension pack is well made and attractive. The games strategies and ways of getting points are very different so each country provides a good contrast. I have thoroughly enjoyed both countries - India is better with just a couple of players, Switzerland with more.

Great game playand added quality by having 2 expansions in one

This adds some layers of complexity that make the game very interesting.Takes about 5 minutes to learn- easier if you play a quick trial game.Locomotive cards or ‘Specials’ are key in this game.One key point is that on every build move you need to check not only if you have the right coloured cards but also the right permit cards. A couple of times you forget.Overall great game - the only thing you need from the original are the train pieces.

Be warned - this is an expansion game and you must purchase the base game - Ticket to Ride Europe or the original Ticket to Ride first. I try to buy a new family game each Christmas and had seen Ticket to Ride in Hamleys and read the reviews on Amazon. I thought that the game might require an interest in rail travel but it no more needs an interest in rail travel than Monopoly needs an interest in property development. Like Monopoly, you get points by collecting cards on each turn which allow you to capture train routes across Europe with bonus points for those with the longest route or those between specific destinations. The game kept our family of 7 involved for a 2-3h but the game doesn't involve any "big laughs" in the way that games like Articulate do.Be warned that of the many versions, most are extensions and that you have to purchase one of the base games first - of which this is one.Overall, a great alternative to Monopoly if you don't like the money aspect of that game, but expensive for what it is

Ticket to Ride is an absolute hit in our household! It's easy to learn and endlessly entertaining. The quality of the components is top-notch, and the game strikes a perfect balance between luck and strategy.I love the multiple playing styles it accommodates, keeping every match fresh and exciting. It's a must-have for any game night—perfect for both beginners and seasoned players. Highly recommended for its sheer enjoyment and replay value!

Bought this a few months ago after being introduced to Ticket to Ride (Europe). In general, TTR has to be the best board game there is. But this version blew us away. We've bought three other TTR versions since; this one, however, is still the firm favourite in my household. We originally got it just for the UK map, but both the UK and the Pennsylvania versions are so much fun! At first, the new mechanics seem daunting. After the first play-through of both though, we found them to be awesome editions. Honestly, if you love any of the base games of TTR & only ever get just one expansion — make it this one!

Made the mistake of not reading that this is an Expansion and you need the original version as well. My mistake

I love this series of games -- Ticket to Ride. I also have the US version and the Europe version You need one of these to play the African game because you need those game pieces. These are such fun games -- once you understand the rules! We actually modify the rules a bit to make it a little less complicated. Lots of fun and laughs.

El producto es original y venía empacado super bien. Es una expansión, no lo compres si no tienes el juego base. Me encantaron las nuevas modalidades para darle un giro si ya estás acostumbrado al mapa de USA.

Loving Ticket to Ride and living in Pennsylvania made this a must buy. My wife has been to England and I just watch a lot of British television makes this somewhat odd pairing thoroughly enjoyable.

Gostei. Pedágio é legal.

Uma das melhores expansões.
