Two new games in the popular Ticket to Ride series are now available from publisher Days of Wonder. Ticket to Ride: Asia and Ticket to Ride: India are both expansions which require a copy of the original game (or Ticket to Ride: Europe) to play.
TTR: Asia includes two maps, one for Team Asia and the other for Legendary Asia. Team Asia (designed by Alan R. Moon) is for 4 to 6 players in teams of two each. Teammates share some -- but not all -- destination cards, so working together is a key part of success in this game. Legendary Asia (designed by François Valentyne) adds mountain routes, which cause wear and tear to the trains that travel on them, to the game.
TTR: India (designed by Ian Vincent) is for 2 to 4 players. It features a Grand Tour bonus at the end of the game for players who connect destination cities with at least two distinct paths. TTR: India also includes a copy of Moon's Switzerland map, which is for 2 to 3 players and is one of my favorite versions of the game.
Days of Wonder has also announced the upcoming release of Zug um Zug Deutschland (Ticket to Ride: Germany), which will debut at the Nuremberg Toy Fair this week. It uses the same map and routes first introduced in Ticket to Ride: Märklin and is scheduled for release in the second half of 2012, only in Germany and Austria.
