Board game - Ticket to Ride. United Kingdom. Pennsylvania (expansion)

Attention! This is an expansion. To play, you will need the base version "Ticket to Ride: America" or "Ticket to Ride: Europe".

The "Ticket to Ride: United Kingdom and Pennsylvania" expansion will open up new places for you to visit. You will be able to experience the Foggy Albion, from the capital London to the most remote corners of the United Kingdom and the northern islands, traveling across the whole of Great Britain – after you study new technologies and upgrade your trains, of course.

The territory is incredibly vast, but it’s not the limit, as you will also be able to pop over to the USA, to the state of Pennsylvania, where the railway business is booming. This place is of particular interest, not only because it is iconic for this sector. In Pennsylvania, you will buy shares of railway companies and become part of this business – and, of course, you will receive bonuses for this at the end of the game. Quickly embark on an exciting journey through the picturesque landscapes of two continents!

About the game
A true railroad magnate must not only strive to create and strengthen their empire but also take care of competitors. It’s necessary to lay the longest and most effective routes while ensuring to cut off opponents from important transport hubs. The key is to maintain a balance between greed and moderation: long, tiring trips certainly bring in profit, but for quick arrival at the desired destination, many are willing to spend significantly…

How to play?
At the beginning, each player receives a route card that marks two cities located at opposite ends of the map. This card must be kept secret! The goal is to build a railway between the indicated points. To execute this grand plan, each turn players are dealt "train" cards of different colors and joker cards depicting a locomotive. It is also allowed to draw additional route cards and lay down train cards on the game board to score victory points. A route can be laid of any possible length as long as there are enough cards of one color and opponents do not interfere.

When one player's trains run low, the game is declared completed. All players reveal their hidden routes and count the points scored. If the task indicated on the route card is completed, points are added; if failed – points are deducted. And, importantly, the player who laid the longest route receives an additional ten points!

Who won?
When at the end of one player's turn they have 2 or fewer carriages left, the game is nearing completion: participants take their final turn and proceed to count. Victory points earned for completed routes are added to points for route cards that were successfully laid. If a route is not completed, the player is deducted the points indicated on the card. After all additions and subtractions, the winner is announced – the player who managed to earn the most victory points!
