Ticket to Ride's Legendary Asia Expansion: A Journey Through Time and Terrain
Marmalade Game Studio has released a captivating new expansion for their popular digital board game, Ticket to Ride: Legendary Asia. This marks the fourth major expansion, offering a compelling reason for both seasoned players and newcomers to embark on this digital train adventure.
Explore the Stunning Landscapes of Asia
This expansion transports players across the breathtaking landscapes of Asia in 1913. The game features a historically-informed map showcasing a unified Korea, a different configuration of India (including its western provinces within Bangladesh), and Iraq encompassing Kuwait. Africa, interestingly, is depicted without borders. This unique geographical representation adds a historical layer to the gameplay.
New Characters and Epic Locomotives
Two intriguing new characters join the fray: Wang Ling, a divine opera singer, and Lê Chinh, a worldly artisan. Their presence unlocks access to magnificent locomotives: the Emperor, the Mountain Maiden, and the luxurious Silk Zephyr carriage. For those seeking a more spiritual journey, the Pagoda Pilgrim carriage awaits.
Strategic Gameplay and a New Bonus
Legendary Asia retains the strategic route-building core of Ticket to Ride, but introduces a fresh element: the Asian Explorer Bonus. This bonus rewards players for creating the longest routes and connecting the most cities. However, points are awarded only for the first visit to each city, demanding careful planning and eliminating the possibility of loops or detours.
