Embark on a virtual journey through Japan with the latest expansion for Ticket to Ride, brought to you by Marmalade Game Studio and Asmodee Entertainment. The Japan Expansion for the digital version of this beloved board game introduces a fresh twist to your gaming experience.
Help Build the Train Network
For the first time, the iconic Japan map from the physical game is available on digital platforms. However, this version offers a unique twist: instead of solely focusing on building your own train empire, you now contribute to a national Bullet Train network that benefits all players. This cooperative element adds a new layer of strategy to the game.
While you can attempt to be strategic and let others do the heavy lifting, be cautious. The game features an innovative karma system. Shirk your responsibilities on the Bullet Train project, and you might lose up to 20 points when the final scores are tallied. So, a balance of teamwork and personal gain is key.
The Japan Expansion also introduces two new characters to enrich your gameplay. Meet Nakanishi Kimiko, a travel blogger who's all about the festival scene and her canine companion. Then there's Moriyama Isamu, a sumo referee or gyōji, who brings a touch of Japan's rich history and culture to the game, enhancing the overall experience beyond just maps and trains.
Ticket to Ride Has Upgraded Trains with the Japan Expansion
Your train collection is set for a delightful upgrade. The expansion introduces two new trains and two carriages. The Ichi Eki Saki train, paired with the Tsuki Sleeper carriage, is perfect for those looking to travel in comfort and style. On the other hand, the Isogaba Maware train, combined with the speedy Hayai carriage, caters to those who prefer efficiency and speed.
As spring arrives, the Japan map is poised to captivate players with its seasonal charm. The Japan Expansion is available now for download, offering a refreshing way to enjoy Ticket to Ride. Head over to the Google Play Store to start your adventure.
