"Ticket to Ride: Japan Expansion Now Available"

Just a few months after the Switzerland expansion made its digital debut, Ticket to Ride is back with another fan-favorite map: Japan. This marks the first time the Japan Expansion has transitioned from physical to digital, and it introduces a unique twist. Players are not only racing to complete their own tickets but must also engage in teamwork and collaboration to succeed.

The Japan map introduces the Bullet Train network to Ticket to Ride, featuring high-speed shared routes that span the country. These routes are available for everyone to use, but players are also expected to contribute to their construction. Skip the teamwork, and you'll face a 20-point penalty at the end of the match, making it a serious blow in a game where every point counts. The result is a tense balancing act between competition and cooperation.

Beyond strategy, the expansion offers more to explore with the introduction of two new characters deeply tied to Japan's culture. Nakanishi Kimiko, a travel blogger, journeys across the country's colorful festivals with her loyal dog, while Moriyama Isamu, a Gyoji referee, adds a traditional flair to the board as he connects players to Japan's rich history.

The expansion also includes four new additions to the train collection. The Ichi Eki Saki train and Tsuki Sleeper carriage offer a relaxed, scenic vibe, perfect for enjoying the journey. In contrast, the Isogaba Maware train and Hayai carriage are designed for speed, ideal for navigating Japan's fast-paced routes.

This expansion is particularly fitting as Japan is one of the most beautiful places to visit, especially during springtime when the sakura blooms.
