Japan Expansion for Ticket to Ride Introduces Bullet Train Network!

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.

Help Build the Train Network

For the first time, the iconic Japan map from the physical game is accessible on digital platforms. This expansion introduces a unique twist: instead of solely focusing on building your own train empire, you'll contribute to a national Bullet Train network that benefits everyone. It's a cooperative endeavor with a twist. While you can strategize to let others do the heavy lifting while you accumulate points, be wary of the game's karma system. Neglecting your Bullet Train duties could cost you 20 points at the end of the game. So, even if you're plotting to outsmart your friends, you'll need to lend a helping hand.

The Japan Expansion also introduces two new characters to enrich the experience. Meet Nakanishi Kimiko, a travel blogger who's all about the festival scene and her canine companion. Then there's Moriyama Isamu, a gyōji or sumo referee, who adds a touch of Japan's rich cultural heritage, bringing more than just maps and trains to the game.

Ticket to Ride Has Upgraded Trains with the Japan Expansion

Enhance your collection with the addition of two new trains and two carriages. The Ichi Eki Saki train and the Tsuki Sleeper carriage are perfect for those seeking a more relaxed travel experience. For those who prefer speed and efficiency, the Isogaba Maware train and the Hayai carriage are the ideal choices.

With spring in the air, the Japan map is set to provide an extra delightful experience with its seasonal charm. The Japan Expansion is available for download now, ready to add a new dimension to your Ticket to Ride sessions. You can find it on the Google Play Store.
