The new Ticket to Ride India expansion is now available at game retailers in North America and around the world, as well as at the Days of Wonder web store.
This second volume of the new Ticket to Ride Map Collection series includes a double-sided game board with the map of India for 2 to 4 players, plus Ticket to Ride Switzerland, the terrific but long out of print map for 2 and 3 players. Learn more on the Ticket to Ride India web page.
In November we launched our first video commercial. Devilishly Fun featured Ticket to Ride on the iPad, and oh yeah… nuns on a train.
Well if it’s Christmas week it must be time for the sequel. This time the board game takes center stage with more nuns, more trains, and, oh yeah, a whole bunch of gotcha!

Put Ticket to Ride in your Pocket for only 99 cents!Ticket to Ride Asia – the first volume in the Ticket to Ride Map Collection – goes on sale tomorrow (Wednesday, Nov 16) in retail stores throughout North America.
This expansion to the popular Ticket to Ride series features two different maps on a double-sided board. In Team Asia, 4 or 6 players collaborate in two-player teams to complete shared Destination Tickets. On the flip side, Legendary Asia features a new Asian Explorer bonus for connecting the most cities and takes 2-5 players through hazardous Mountain Routes that force you to discard a train (the Himalayas are hard on rail cars!) You’ll need trains and train cards from either Ticket to Ride or Ticket to Ride Europe to play.
Make some time to visit your friendly local game store this week and pick up Ticket to Ride Asia. If you’ve pre-ordered from the Days of Wonder web store your shipment will also leave the station by tomorrow. Learn more on the Ticket to Ride Asia web page.

The second map, Legendary Asia, features a new Asian Explorer bonus for connecting the most cities and ushers 2-5 players through treacherous Mountain Routes – each time you cross the Himalayas, you’ll lose a train car!
