TICKET TO RIDE SWITZERLAND

Calling all fans of Ticket To Ride games!  Jump aboard with the latest  expansion game, Ticket To Ride Switzerland! This newest  game is expressly designed for two to three players and requires a provision of forty trains (and the corresponding scoring markers) and 110 train cards from either  Ticket To Ride, Ticket To Ride Europe, or Ticket To Ride Marklin. The fold out board, like the other games, is nicely featured with the same quality you would expect to find from a Days of Wonder board game. Some of the rules have been changed, compelling players to employ different strategies. Instead of the maximum of forty-six trains per player, this game allows for only forty trains each. For anyone who was working on their last route and ran out of trains, you understand the frustration and importance of this new rule! There are also forty-six destination tickets for the Swiss map, although some of these new cards can take you to adjacent countries. You still earn ten bonus points for having the longest and connected train routes. The locomotive cards (which are the multi-colored "wild cards"  that can stand in for any other color) can now only be placed on the tunnel routes (before they could be played on any route). Also, when selecting cards from the train card pile, you can pick up two locomotive cards (just as you would with the regular train colors) instead of just one. These extra features will make for an interesting game!
Please Note: This is not a stand alone game. It requires components from  either Ticket To Ride, Ticket To Ride Europe, or Ticket To Ride Marklin.

Contents of Ticket To Ride Switzerland:

1 Board Map of Switzerland Train Routes
46 Destination Tickets
1 Instruction Booklet in English, French, German, Spanish, Finnish, Norwegian,         
       and Dutch.
