Ticket to Ride: Map Collection 8 – Iberia & South Korea

Product detailed description

Expand your favorite Ticket to Ride game with the 8th map collection, taking you to two captivating peninsulas: sunny Iberia and high-tech South Korea. Each map offers unique gameplay mechanics to add fresh strategies and excitement to your game nights.

Iberia

On the Iberian Peninsula, players start by drafting six destination tickets, keeping four. This process repeats before the train card deck is depleted for the first time. With only 35 trains per player, your goal is to complete eight destination tickets while also collecting festival cards to earn bonus points. The map is seeded with 54 festival cards, which are placed next to cities when drawn. If you build a route connecting to one or more festival cities, you can collect all the festival cards near a city of your choice. The more cards you collect, the more points you earn at the end of the game!

South Korea

In South Korea, you also draft six destination tickets and keep four. The map divides routes into color-coded regions (e.g., blue in the northeast, yellow in the northwest). When claiming a route, you can place one of your trains on the province mat in a matching color zone, corresponding to the number of cards you played. Players can use more cards than required to claim a higher-value space. Additionally, each player has a set of express train cards (+1, +2, +3) that can be spent to draw more train cards, take additional tickets, or claim a higher number on the province mat. At the end of the game, each region on the province mat is evaluated, and players with the highest total values earn bonus points.
