Ticket to Ride expansions

[Waffle12]

We got the basic ticket to ride game for Christmas and we are really enjoying it.

I understand that we can add expansion games to this core game, but can anyone explain how you would play with the expansion games please? And what would be a good one to get? We would mostly be playing as 2 players, but sometimes up to 4.

Thank you.

Ticket to ride really has 2 options. First true expansion packs like 1910 which introduces new routes and cards to the USA game or 1912 which does the same to the Europe map. We much prefer the variants though where you can buy different versions eg Asia or Nordic countries. You play these instead of the base and they give you new boards etc.

We have a cupboard full.
TTR has been our favourite family game for about 10 years. DC are now in their 20s but will often play when they come home for a visit and always at Christmas.
Current favourite is the Asia version. It contains a board and route cards but you use the train cards and pieces from the original or expansion set.
They all have slightly different rules but are essentially the same game.
