Embark on a virtual journey through Japan with the latest expansion for Ticket to Ride, brought to you by Marmalade Game Studio and Asmodee Entertainment. The Japan Expansion for the digital version of this beloved board game is now available, offering a fresh twist on the classic gameplay.
For the first time, the Japan map from the physical game has made its way to digital platforms, but with a unique spin. Unlike the original where you focus on building your own train empire, this expansion invites you to contribute to a national Bullet Train network that benefits all players. It introduces a cooperative element, though with a twist. You can strategize to let others shoulder the workload while you aim to score points, but beware: the game's karma system is watching. Shirk your Bullet Train responsibilities, and you'll lose 20 points when the scores are tallied. So, while you can plot your friends' downfall, a touch of teamwork is necessary to avoid penalties.
Alongside the new gameplay mechanics, the Japan Expansion introduces two intriguing characters. Meet Nakanishi Kimiko, a travel blogger who immerses herself in Japan's vibrant festival scene, accompanied by her loyal dog. The other is Moriyama Isamu, a gyōji or sumo referee, adding a rich layer of Japanese culture and personality to the game beyond just maps and trains.
Enhance your collection with the Japan Expansion's new additions. You'll receive two new trains and carriages to diversify your travel options. The Ichi Eki Saki train and the Tsuki Sleeper carriage cater to those seeking a more leisurely journey, while the Isogaba Maware train and the Hayai carriage offer speed and efficiency for the time-conscious traveler.
With spring in the air, the Japan map promises an especially delightful experience with its seasonal charm. The Japan Expansion is available for download now, perfect for spicing up your Ticket to Ride sessions. Head over to the Google Play Store to get started.
