"Ticket to Ride's Latest Update: Journey to Japan"

Just a few months after the Switzerland expansion dazzled digital players, Ticket to Ride is back with another beloved map: Japan. This marks the first time the Japan Expansion has transitioned from a physical game to a digital one, and it introduces a significant twist. In this version, success hinges not just on completing your own tickets but also on teamwork and collaboration.

The Japan map brings the iconic Bullet Train network to Ticket to Ride, featuring high-speed shared routes that crisscross the country. These routes are available for everyone to use, but players must also contribute to their construction.

Neglecting teamwork can result in a hefty 20-point penalty at the end of the game, making the balance between competition and cooperation a thrilling challenge.

Beyond strategic gameplay, the expansion introduces two new characters deeply rooted in Japanese culture. Nakanishi Kimiko, a travel blogger, explores the country's vibrant festivals with her loyal dog, while Moriyama Isamu, a Gyoji referee, brings a touch of tradition to the board, connecting players to Japan's rich history.

The expansion also adds four new train cars to the collection. The Ichi Eki Saki train and Tsuki Sleeper carriage offer a serene, scenic experience, whereas the Isogaba Maware train and Hayai carriage are designed for speed, ideal for navigating Japan's bustling routes.

This expansion is particularly fitting as Japan transforms into a breathtaking spectacle during springtime, thanks to the sakura. Download Ticket to Ride now for $6.99 or your local equivalent by clicking on your preferred link below. For more information, visit the official Facebook page.
