The downsides of all the nice bits in the box, and mostly the huge map, is the size of the box itself is thoroughly kallax unfriendly, being the beast that it is. These are welcome bits of additional gameplay that can breathe a bit more life into the game before heading down the rickety and jolly tracks of house rulings. While we often recommend a small box city based Ticket To Ride Amsterdam or London, that’s us reducing the game to its purest mechanical parts for the quickest hit, here we’ve got something that expands the sense of the game into something a bit more luxurious.Īside from the aesthetic upgrades, and any good feelings that come with it, there’s also the addition of all of the bonus destination tickets, and a guide to using them in various combinations with slight set-up tweaks to get a ‘Europe 19T2’ or ‘Big Cities of Europe’ flavour. The stations are equally as lovely, and once it’s all out on the board, there’s something pleasingly de-abstracting about the set up. These are not only individual for each train company, but area also printed or painted up with marking and logos of each railway line. There are also new tins filled with your brand new, highly detailed train carriages. The board is now, frankly, massive, with new art that feels enjoyably crisp. So, what then does the 15 th Anniversary Edition add, if a little spice is already present? It’s probably something like a great deal of gold leaf. These extra bits of sharing and push-your-luck add a sprinkle of spice to a familiar and homely pudding. This is partly because the map is a little kinder in layout than the North American map, and also the little wrinkles that the stations (place a station at key points and you can use other player’s routes to complete yours) and tunnels (after paying, flip cards from the top of the deck, matching cards mean you have to pay one more of the same colour). Ticket To Ride: Europe often tops the list for the best of the series.
