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 version of Ticket to Ride has made its way to digital platforms. However, this version isn't just about building your own train empire. It introduces a cooperative element where players contribute to constructing a national Bullet Train network that benefits everyone.

While the game encourages teamwork, there's still room for strategy and a bit of cunning. You can choose to let others do the heavy lifting while you focus on accumulating points. But be warned, the game features a karma system. Shirk your Bullet Train responsibilities, and you'll lose 20 points when the final scores are tallied. So, a balance of helpfulness and strategic play is essential.

The Japan Expansion also introduces two new characters: Nakanishi Kimiko, a travel blogger who enjoys the festival scene with her dog, and Moriyama Isamu, a gyōji or sumo referee, adding a rich layer of Japanese culture and personality to the game.

Ticket to Ride Has Upgraded Trains with the Japan Expansion

Enhance your collection with the Japan Expansion's new additions: two trains and two carriages. The Ichi Eki Saki train and the Tsuki Sleeper carriage cater to your leisurely travel needs, while the Isogaba Maware train and the Hayai carriage offer speed and efficiency for the more fast-paced journeys.

With spring in the air, the Japan map's seasonal charm is bound to enhance your gaming experience. The Japan Expansion is available now for download, perfect for those looking to refresh their Ticket to Ride sessions. You can find it on the Google Play Store.
