Tonight we had our first play of Ticket to Ride: Legendary Asia - with its new routes, layout, stations, locations and mountain rules. These were unusual in that if you had a two red mountain route, you have to have two red cards, then place two plastic trains THEN give up an extra two plastic trains because of the difficulty of trains to get over/around/through mountains. This has the effect of emptying your stash of plastic trains quicker and as usual if you get down to 3 trains then the game ends on the next round. So you have to think carefully about how many mountain routes you will take; except this board covers a lot of countries north and south of the Himalayas! The other side is another Asian map, except it is designed for team play - although I suppose you could still use it for 2 players games. Another nice thing in the box are 4 bamboo slotted ticket holders for team play that can also be used for 2 player. Very nice.
Oh, and Anita won. Again.
