Ticket To Ride Nederland Board Game

Product Description

Ticket To Ride Map Collection Volume 4 Nederland contains a new game board with new rules for use with Ticket to Ride or Ticket to Ride Europe with player now creating train lines in the Netherlands The basics of Tt R gameplay remain the same as always — players collect train cards in order to claim routes between pairs of cities with the overall goal of completing tickets they hold in hand — but Ticket to Ride Nederland twists this gameplay in two ways First nearly every route on the game board is a double-route with two tracks connecting cities Both of these routes are in play no matter how many players are in the game Second every route — whether double or single — has a bridge toll that a player must pay when building on that route On a single route or the first track of a double route the player pays this toll — which costs 1-4 coins — to the bank; on the second track of a double route the player pays this toll to the player who built the first track Players start the game with 30 coins & if you can&t pay a toll you must take a loan card to cover the fare with each loan costing you 5 points at the end of the game In addition to helping you avoid loans coins matter because at game&s end players receive a bonus based on how many coins they hold relative to everyone else In a five-player game for example the player with the most coins scores a 55 point bonus; the 2nd place player scores 35 points & the other players 20 10 & 0 points If you&ve taken a loan however you&re ineligible for this bonus scoring so players have an incentive to build early & often These coin bonuses are balanced by the multitude of destination tickets with large point values six of them are worth 29 points while another seventeen are worth 17-26 points Age 8 Players 2-5 Play Time 45 Minutes
