Ticket to Ride Nederland

Map Collection 4

Ticket to Ride Nederland introduces the 4th expansion in the series "Map Collection", the expansions needs the core game to play, you need 40 train cards per player as well as a total of 110 train car cards.

At the start you draw five out of 44 new destination cards and keep three, cards that you do not keep are - that is new - discarded open-faced. The map with its many waterways demands bridges and for these bridges you have to pay toll. TO do so you are given a certain number of Bridge Toll Tokens at the start of the game. Most tracks in Nederland are double tracks and are available as double tracks with all numbers of players. If you build the first track of such a double track, carrying a toll symbol, you pay the toll cost to the bank. Whoever builds the second parallel track of such a double track pays the cost to the player who built the first track. If you cannot fully pay the toll cost you take a Loan Card, do not pay any Toll Tokens and cannot pay back the loan. If you cannot pay for a second parallel track the owner of the first track gets the toll cost from the bank.

At the end of the game you score accomplished destination cards as usual und deduct five points from your score for each Loan Card. Bridge Toll Tokens still owned can earn you a bonus. In a game for two players with Bridge Toll Tokens the rules recommend to use a neutral player who is administrated alternatingly by both players, beginning with round six.

Well-made and good, as are all other expansions, offering sophisticated and challenging details offering a new side to the classic game. Fans will want to own Nederland and play it!
