Ticket to Ride: Nederland

We own TTR USA, Europe, Nordic Countrries, Switzerland/India and Netherlands. First let me say that while we love this game, a buddy of mine and I have come to the conclusion that this game is PURE EVIL. I have yet to ever win at this game and yet to figure out how to. It has become the joke in my family, which is why everyone else wants to play this version. *Joking Aside* I would not suggest this game if you are new to the Ticket to Ride collection. Try USA or Europe as a starter. This is a bit more advanced as you have to keep track of tokens to pay for each route to the bank or other players and collect them other players. This game play is quite different from the other sets, but don't let my misfortune and aggravation towards this game sway you from buying this game.

Ticket to Ride Netherlands is a really fun expansion pack. The new introduction of money adds a new layer of complexity to a really wonderful game. I found it to be one of my favorite expansions of TTR.

First of all, remember that this is an expansion to the original game so you do need another full game to play this one. But anyway - this expansion offers a fun twist with the route tolls. It takes a few plays to figure out the strategy and how best to use the tolls to your advantage. I highly recommend this expansion to kind of refresh the great game and give yourself a little variety in playing.

This version of Ticket to Ride is an add-on to the original. This board has a lot of ferries (so hang on to those wild cards!). In this game, you pay to claim routes, but if someone claims track on the same route as you, instead of the money going to the bank, it goes to you (which REALLY helps). There are bonuses for having money leftover at the end of the game (lowest being 10 coins). The destination cards that are discarded are also removed from the game instead of being placed back under the deck. This is my daughter's favorite TTR board. She likes collecting the money. :) If you play with 2 people, they also have instructions on how to incorporate a third player into the game (which helps with money). You also have the option of not playing with the coins as well. Great addition to your TTR collection!

Be sure you understand this is an extension board, so you won't get trains etc just a board, Instructions, location cards and any special items related to this board. You will need either the original game for the usa or Europe. It is fun to play, there is just 2 pages of instructions, the manual comes in multiple languages : English, French, etc see last pic for flags representing the languages to expect and pages to read instructions. It is a colorful and large board, hours of fun. I included a pic showing all the different numbered cards so there are really long distances to achieve. I see some bonus cards and some penalty cards. I can't wait to read the instructions this weekend and ppl lay with hubby. It is a quality board, thick box. Just be careful popping out those disks . I popped from the back and have one hand u der and one hand aka finger o er the hole n oush. I find I didn't get any tearing that way. Don't pop from the number side and go slowly.it came with one zip lock type bag so i used it for the coins, but I had a spare pouch that I used to out the cards in. I like everything neatly. But the box inside has a slot for the cards n coins if you didn't want to bag them. It is a fun game for the whole family or just 2 people. You get addicted fast and will want other boards.

Ordered for my son for Christmas because he's become a big fan of trains and at 8 years old can handle the gameplay. Chose the Netherlands version because we're Dutch and I thought it would be fun for the kids to learn the city's of their homeland. HOWEVER, he opened for Christmas and this version is not a stand alone game. The only thing missing are the trains. You'd think they could add 50 cents worth of plastic trains to make it a stand alone game but no. Now I'm taking apart little mini wooden cloths pins and painting them for "trains." Super disappointed. I bought in August because I'm an early Christmas shopper and it's been too long so I'm not able to return.

My husband and I love playing ticket to ride. We wanted a version we haven't play before and this deliver. I would highly recommend to any ticket to ride lover to add the Nederland board to your collection.

I thought the introduction of the toll feature would be interesting--that's the main reason for buying this game. While it is very difficult to pronounce the names of the cities, it is still a pretty fun game and goes faster than the original (primarily because it's better to claim your routes sooner rather than later in this version). Worth the price.

Si te gusta pensar mucho, este no es el juego. Si te gusta echar un rato ligero pensando un poco, sí.

Love this version!! Very unpredictable who is going to win because of the money factor (unlike other versions you can tell right away based on how many trains they have down). Lots of strategies to pic from; very tricky! Takes a while to start because you have to figure out your route and there aren't many options. Also a lot easier to lose because of that - no bridges to save you here! Highly reccomend if you're getting bored with the europe or north america version. Keep in mind this is just an expansion - you need one of the originals (europe or north america) for the trains and colour cards.

Mucha gente desconoce a la hora de comprar algún Ticket to Ride. ESTE JUEGO ES UNA EXPANSIÓN y para jugar esta expansión con el mapa de Holanda necesitarás los vagones, marcadores de puntos y tarjetas de vagón que podrás encontrar en los juegos base siguientes: a) Ticket to Ride o Aventureros al Tren con el mapa de USA ó b) Ticket to Ride Europa. Si no tienes ninguno no podrás usar esta expansión. Ahora hablando del Nederland..yo ya tenía el Ticket to Ride clásico con el mapa de USA ( versión en español) y pues esta expansión cuenta en su interior con el tablero con el mapa de Holanda, instructivo con idioma en español incluido, tarjetas de destino y unas monedas de cartón que se utilizan en el juego que forma parte de la variante que caracteriza a esta expansión. Las rutas son escasas a la hora de jugar esta expansión por lo que necesitarás acaparar tu ruta pronto para lograr tu objetivo. En mi punto de vista la calidad del tablero no es mala pero si noté la diferencia en mi juego base y esta expansión, pero nada de que preocuparse. Lo que me gustó de esta expansión es que puedes jugar Ticket to Ride de la forma clásica ó con la variante que trae el juego. Yo recomiendo mucho jugar Ticket to Ride con todos los jugadores permitidos para una experiencia buenísima. Un tip para quienes quisieran probar algún Ticket To Ride es que primero compren el que trae el mapa de Estados Unidos y aprendan a jugarlo. No importa en qué idioma lo compres por que en la página de la editorial del juego Days of Wonder puedes descargar sus instructivos en el idioma que quieras, español incluido y verás cuales son los juego base y cuales son expansiones. Fue sin duda una muy buena compra..y seguiré comprando expansiones de este gran juego de mesa.

We are ticket to ride obsessed in our family. This expansion pack brings new strategy and new concepts to our beloved game. As usual the quality is great and the game play fun. The only 1 slightly negative is that the font on the board is a bit hard to read. Other than that, it's fab. A must have for TTR fans.

Amo Ticket to Ride e ho sempre odiato non poterci giocare in due. Questa espansione, per fortuna, lo permette. Badate bene, però, che si tratta appunto di un'espansione e che, per riuscire a giocarci, c'è necessariamente bisogno di un Ticket To Ride base. Il tabellone è ridotto e per questo è divertente da giocare in due o tre persone. La grafica è sempre magnifica!
