BOARD GAME TICKET TO RIDE FULL
Most importantly, it required a full set of Train Cards, scoring markers, and Train pieces from Ticket to Ride or Ticket to Ride: Europe is needed to play. Previously available only as part of the Ticket to Ride: The Computer Game, it provided a whole new board or country to play across. Originally released in 2007, Ticket to Ride: Switzerland was the first expansion for Ticket to Ride that was not a full game all by itself. This game sets out to fulfill a niche on your gaming shelf and it does so perfectly. It is one that we are both very comfortable playing, but at the same time offers a good amount of tension with competing routes and strategy. I do a lot of gaming with just me and my girlfriend and this is one of my favorite games to break out. I didn’t really list too many negative features to this game, and the reason is that there are not many. If you and your opponent are heading into the same city, only one of you can get into the country from that point! You are never going for a city and a country at the same time, the country is a dead end essentially. The last feature that I like about these country cards is that it always takes an extra move to get into the country. So these cards can have a huge reward with very little penalty. With these routes that offer different choices as to where you are going you may ask what happens if you fail to achieve your goal? Well in that case you simply are penalized the lowest value on the card. Another nice feature is that each country has multiple routes into it, even though each route into a certain country is a dead end.
With this you can either chose to take the longest and connect France to Austria, or you can take the easy route and connect France to Italy. You will have to connect Chur to one of the four countries for a point value. It will tell you for example that you have to connect France to one of the other countries and offer you three different point values for each one depending on how far you have to travel. The nice thing about these cards is it gives you a chose. These destination cards will most likely prove to be your big ticket cards.
With the right destination cards you can either connect two of these countries or a certain city to a country. Those countries are France, Italy, Austria, and Germany. While Switzerland is the main focus of this game, you can also travel and visit a few other countries while you are traveling. That being the destination tickets that direct you from one country to another, or from a city to any country. There are two special features in this game that I don’t believe are featured in any other Ticket to Ride game. Additionally, if you have an internal clock for your train count, it will be off a little since you are short now. Also, you play Switzerland with five less trains then the other games that allow you to speed up the game a bit. And along with tunnels the use of wild cards are solely playable on tunnels. There are tunnels in Ticket to Ride: Switzerland, and that will greatly influence your game play and decision making. The colors and details are vibrant, and it is easy to appreciate the work that was put into the game.
Both with the board and the tickets you also get great artwork. The components are pretty basic as this expansion simply a new board and the destination tickets, but they are top notch. Let’s check it out!Īs a Days of Wonder Game and one of their headliners, if not their bestselling line, you get a top quality game. This wonderful expansions takes the regular game and perfectly sizes it to accommodate two to three players. I would guestimate that most of us have played Ticket to Ride in some form or another, be it over a table top or on your mobile device.
