PLAYED FOR YOU

 

Zug um Zug Deutschland

Build track from Berlin to Munich

 

This is yet another Regional edition of Ticket to Ride, a jubilee edition based on the original Ticket to Ride, Game of the Year 2004. The game is played based on the standard rules: You score for track built between two cities and track built according to Destination Tickets, score a bonus for the most completed Destination Tickets and deduct the value of Destination Tickets you could not complete. In your turn you can either take car cards, use/build a track by placing cars on the board and handing in the necessary number of car cards in the track color plus placing your cars on the track; or you can draw new destination tickets.

This edition is a special one in German language only; the routes correspond the the previously published edition „Zug um Zug Märklin“, but has been adapted and comes without rules for passengers or goods. In this edition some destination tickets take you to neighboring countries where track ends; you cannot connect cities by placing track in other countries. Tunnels and train stations have also been left out in this version. In relation to the Märklin edition Destination Tickets have been changed, too; this edition comprises 33 Destination Tickets for “short distances” with values between 4 and 11 and 20 Destination Tickets “long distance” with values between 12 and 22. Then there is the new bonus card for most completed Destination Tickets; it is worth 15 points and hugely influences the tactic in the game, because it makes completing of cheaper, shorter tracks much more interesting!

This is a felicitous new edition, the new details are very attractive and introduce variation.
