Ticket to Ride United Kingdom + Pennsylvania Board Game Expansion - Strategy Game, Family Game for Kids & Adults, Ages 8+, 2-5 Players, 30-60 Minute Playtime

Quality game! The two sides of this dual board game are very different. We love the very unique Pennsylvania game, where you never know who wins until stocks are tallied at the end. Multiple strategies are possible. Can’t say i like the UK game. It’s an exercise in frustration. You have to collect a bunch of locomotive cards to buy a myriad of “technology cards” in order to do anything. Too many steps to make progress. Whoever is lucky with drawing lots of engines will win, and others will be blocked while they are still mired on square one. The game as a whole is worth buying, because Pennsylvania offers satisfying entertainment.

great game and the Pennsylvania game is our favorite!

This is a great expansion! Not a standalone game like some of the other expansion sets, but adds some really fun and different strategic variables.

So fun to play with our family

Great game

This game is unique in that it introduces a new method of play with the Pennsylvania map. On the Pennsylvanian map it introduces stocks which determine how many victory points you get at the end of the game. The rules are a little vague about wither or not you add up your trains that you place as well as the stocks at the end so after some debate we decided to just add up the stocks at the end which after we checked is the way that you play this particular map. Make sure you get as many stocks as you can and lay down early or you may get blocked and not be able to get to your destinations. The map of great Britain also had a unique twist in that you had to buy the ability to build trains into other countries. You start off in England but have to buy the ability to build into France, Ireland, Scotland and Wales. Also you can only build 2 train spots at the beginning of the game and you must buy technologies that allow you to build longer routes and to cross water and so on. The rules were laid out pretty well however you had to constantly look back at them which made the game rather lengthy. This expansion is by far the best one that I've played so far and I have played all of them. I wouldn't spend $40 on it so if you can get it on sale like I did for $25 its worth it. If you love Ticket to Ride its a must have. If you are looking at what expansion to get for Ticket to Ride THIS IS IT!

Note: you must have the original game!! My brother and my sister (sil) introduced us to the original game and while I was extremely hesitant, I’m absolutely addicted and is a must play everytime we’re together so when I saw this, I HAD to get it! It’s all the right things!! You get new destination cards, 2 new boards and a fresh deck of colored. It’s the same game, with a fresh new spin/twist! It’s easy to pick up!! I will say, I think this one is a bit harder then the original, less double track options (making you go the longer routes) and longer routes in general (but worth more points) I’m glad I decided to buy it and recommend it to anyone looking to add to their collection!!

Arrived yesterday and entranced the family for hours, breaking the addiction to the original Ticket to Ride. The family immediately began playing the notorious robber baron, cut-throat Pennsylvania board. We soon discovered one must diversify one's stock holdings, keep an eye on what stocks are available and how many of them are issued to competitors. Be bold and obtain segments of those routes needed quickly while not giving hints of your intended destinations away too quickly. But, one must act fast and decisively if one intends to be the CEO of the greatest conglomerate holdings of the railroads that connect Pennsylvania with connecting states and Canada. Not for the non-competitive family members who might take "umbrage" if one or more of their intended routes are cut-off! The other side of the board, the United Kingdom game is also a very interesting if not decidedly different play. We found it much slower paced as one must decide to obtain advanced technology and pay with locomotive cards, or try to complete routes without the advancement of technology. The spoiler is the route to America which can be completed with locomotives in part, but without technology and rewards a massive amount of points. This is a more cerebral game in many aspects, but still avails the player of the fun and excitement of the Ticket to Ride experience.

I bought the UK + Pennsylvania extension and it was really worth the money. I like Pennsylvania extension more, which you need to invest in the companies. For the UK extension, you need to develop your technologies so that you can expand to other land. However, there's a card that you can draw 3 cards instead of 2, which makes the game a bit unfair. But really take into account that this is the extension only and you need the "Ticket to Ride" or "Ticket to Ride Europe" to be able to play the game - you don't have the trains / station in the extension.

Es un juego que le puede gustar a todos los públicos, fácil de jugar y muy entretenido

Compris rapidement la nouvelle règle, nickel

Good add-on to the main game (Ticket to Ride Europe). UK rules are complicated. Pennsylvania rules are simpler
