Japan Expansion for Ticket to Ride: Build Your Bullet Train Network!

Embark on a thrilling 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 is now available on digital platforms, offering a fresh take on the beloved board game.

Help Build the Train Network

For the first time, the iconic Japan map from the physical version of Ticket to Ride is available digitally, but with a twist. Instead of solely focusing on building your own train empire, you'll contribute to a national Bullet Train network that benefits all players. This expansion introduces a cooperative element, although with a strategic edge. You can attempt to let others shoulder the work while you accumulate points, but beware of the game's karma system. Neglecting your Bullet Train responsibilities could cost you 20 points when the final scores are tallied. Thus, a balance of cooperation and competition is key.

The Japan Expansion also introduces two new characters, adding depth to the game's narrative. Nakanishi Kimiko, a travel blogger, brings a lively festival vibe along with her canine companion. Meanwhile, Moriyama Isamu, a gyōji or sumo referee, enriches the game with a touch of Japan's historical culture, enhancing the overall experience beyond just trains and maps.

Ticket to Ride Has Upgraded Trains with the Japan Expansion

Enhance your collection with the Japan Expansion, which includes two new trains and carriages. The Ichi Eki Saki train and the Tsuki Sleeper carriage cater to those looking for a more relaxed travel experience. On the other hand, the Isogaba Maware train, paired with the Hayai carriage, offers speed and efficiency for the fast-paced player.

With the arrival of spring, the Japan map promises to deliver an enchanting seasonal experience. The Japan Expansion is available for download now, perfect for those eager to add a new dimension to their Ticket to Ride gameplay. You can find it on the Google Play Store.
