Ticket to Ride Map Collection 6: France & Old West

Ticket to Ride Map Collection 6: France & Old West invites you on an unforgettable railway adventure with a double-sided game board featuring two captivating destinations. Explore the scenic routes of France on one side and the rugged landscapes of the western half of the United States on the other!

In the France section of this expansion, 2 to 5 players embark on a quest to collect train cards and claim valuable routes to complete their tickets. Get ready for a twist, as most tracks on the board are uncolored! Every time you draw cards, you must select a colored tile ranging from 2 to 5 train cars long, which you’ll then position on an empty track bed. Once placed, any player can claim that route by discarding the corresponding colored cards from their hand, just like in classic Ticket to Ride games. Keep an eye out for the already colored single-length routes and the exciting gray-colored ferry routes!

Beware of overlapping track beds! Once a tile is positioned on the board, all track beds beneath it become off-limits for future construction. At the end of the game, players score their completed tickets, with exciting bonuses available for the longest continuous route and the most tickets finished. Strategy and creativity will pave your path to victory!

Switch gears in the Old West portion, where 2 to 6 players begin the game by selecting a starting location for one of their three city pieces in reverse player order. Your first route must connect to this chosen city, and each route you claim afterward must link to your growing network of tracks.

Once a route is secured, don’t forget to place one of your remaining cities at either end by discarding a matching pair of train cards. Remember, only one city marker can occupy each city. If you build a route that connects to another player's city, that player scores the points for that route, not the one placing the trains. If both ends of the route belong to different players, both score points! The player who completes the most tickets in this expansion will earn a whopping 15 bonus points!

For a fun variant, try playing Old West with the mysterious Alvin the Alien. No player may start in Roswell, but the first to build a route into this infamous city earns 10 points and places the Alvin marker in a controlled city. The next player to connect to Alvin’s city scores 10 points, too, and moves Alvin once again. Control Alvin at the end of the game for an additional 10 bonus points!

Join the excitement with Ticket to Ride Map Collection 6: France & Old West—a thrilling journey that’s full of strategy, competition, and endless fun!
