Today, Days of Wonder has officially unveiled (taking a breath) Ticket to Ride Map Collection: Volume 5 – United Kingdom & Pennsylvania, a double-sided game board from designer Alan R. Moon that works as an expansion for either Ticket to Ride or Ticket to Ride: Europe. Some details about the gameplay in this item:
In a press release for this collection, Adrien Martinot, General Manager at Days of Wonder, said, "You need Locomotives to buy Technologies, but you also need them to claim vital routes on the map. Finding the proper balance between your Technologies and the expansion of your railroad network is the key to victory!" With locomotives being so key for this map, the expansion includes a new set of 116 train cards for use with the UK map with a slightly different ratio of trains to locomotives compared to the base game. The UK map, designed for 2-4 players, also has 57 tickets and 47 technology cards.
Oh, and before anyone complains about the spelling on Pittsburgh on the PA map, be sure to check out this history of how the city's name has changed over time. For the years in which Ticket to Ride is set, the names are spot on. As for the placement of the cities, well, I'll let you figure that out for yourself.
Ticket to Ride: UK/PA, which carries a $40/€35 MSRP, debuts at Spiel 2015 in October, with a European release shortly thereafter and a release elsewhere in the world by the end of November 2015.
