Today we will be looking at Days of Wonders’ most recent map collection, Vol. The first three map collections added a dangerous Himalayan route, bonus to destination tickets, and terrain cards that can make routes even more valuable. These collections add new mechanics to each map, making them play somewhat differently than the base game. In 2011, Days of Wonder started to put together map collections that are used with the trains and train cards from either Ticket to Ride USA or Europe. You can find over 30 links to maps made by the loyal fans of the game that allow you to play Ticket to Ride in different countries around the world. If you ever wander onto the Ticket to Ride page on the Days of Wonder website, you will see an option to look at fan contributions. If you haven’t already, you can read the review for the Ticket to Ride Europe here. It's the ultimate version of Ticket to Ride in every sense and is a good way to honor such a beloved board game.This review is for an expansion for Ticket to Ride. Additionally, the board and cards have been given a more colorful, intricate makeover that's very handsome. Despite being more expensive (and arguably too steep for anyone that already isn't a fan), you get what you pay for: each player receives unique miniatures to use in-game, and these are all stored within gorgeous collectors' tins featuring an original design. If you can find it on offer, it's also worth considering the special Ticket to Ride Europe 15th Anniversary Deluxe Edition (opens in new tab). Meanwhile, younger players should aim for the more streamlined Ticket to Ride: First Journey (opens in new tab). These show off everything Ticket to Ride has to offer and provide the best entry-point. So, which one should you buy? If you're new to the idea, I'd recommend opting for the 'classic' USA game (opens in new tab) or its European equivalent (opens in new tab).

You can then start to figure out which one they're shooting for - and whether you need to get there first. Are they collecting loads of blue cards?
