Japan Expansion for Ticket to Ride Introduces Bullet Train Network!

Embark on a virtual journey across 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 introduces a fresh twist on the classic gameplay.

Help Build the Train Network

For the very first time, the iconic Japan map from the physical game is now available on digital platforms. Unlike the traditional version where you focus solely on expanding your own train empire, the Japan Expansion invites you to contribute to a national Bullet Train network that benefits everyone. It's a cooperative effort with a twist. You could attempt to be cunning, letting others do the heavy lifting while you collect points. But beware, the game features a karma system that penalizes shirkers. Neglect your Bullet Train duties, and you might lose 20 points when the final tally comes. So, it pays to be somewhat helpful, even if you're plotting a friendly sabotage.

The expansion also introduces two new characters that enrich the experience. Meet Nakanishi Kimiko, a travel blogger who loves the festival scene and her dog, adding a vibrant touch to your journey. Then there's Moriyama Isamu, a gyōji or sumo referee, who brings a slice of Japan's historical culture into the game, enhancing the local flavor beyond just maps and trains.

Ticket to Ride Has Upgraded Trains with the Japan Expansion

Enhance your collection with the Japan Expansion, which adds two new trains and two carriages. Experience the leisurely pace with the Ichi Eki Saki train and the Tsuki Sleeper carriage. For those who prefer speed and efficiency, the Isogaba Maware train and the Hayai carriage are your go-to choices.

As spring blooms, the Japan map's seasonal charm is bound to enhance your gaming sessions. The Japan Expansion is now available for download, ready to bring a refreshing change to your Ticket to Ride experience. Head over to the Google Play Store to get started.
