Ticket To Ride USA 1910 Expansion Reviews

• More Game Options And A More Comfortable Ride

  The Ticket to Ride 1910 Expansion (TTR 1910) is an expansion for the basic Ticket to Ride game only. The expansion is great in that it adds game play options as well as improves the basic comfort of the game itself. Some game expansions are just a way to get you to spend more money on a game you already own without adding a lot to game play. TTR 1910 is worth the investment. It adds fun and convenience to an already great game.
  
  TTR 1910 significantly increases the number of destination tickets available adding 35 new long and short haul routes to the game. The new routes are fun and varied, and allow each player to customize his or her strategy around certain city connections.
  
  Also included are four cards from the out of print "Mystery Train Expansion." These cards are for very short routes and are low scoring. They don't add much to the game play.
  
  The expanded rules offer instructions for different game variations that focus on big cities, the new 1910 destinations, or the Mega Game featuring all 65 destination tickets in the box. We tend to stick with the Mega Game for large groups, but for games with fewer players the other variations make for new and fun experiences. We really enjoy the opportunity to develop new game play strategies.
  
  There's also a new 15 point bonus card to reward the player who completes the most routes. This is a nice addition to the game.
  
  In addition to improved game play, the expansion cards are now the same size as regulation playing cards making them significantly easier to hold and play. You get reprints of all of the cards included with the original game so you don't have to mix the cards or choose between the original set or the expansion. For my friends and I, this was a significant improvement over the tiny set that came with the original game.
  
  You might also consider picking up a GLD Pitboss 55-0112 Four Deck Card Shuffler. You'll go through the cards pretty quickly and the shuffler keeps things moving.
  
  

• Awesome addition to the game.

  The expansion allows you to travel to destinations on the board that you did not realize was there. It allows you to be more aware of when to place your trains before someone else nabs the same spot!

  Our family loves Ticket to Ride. We play the standard boardgame quite often and even occasionally take up a challenge on-line at the company website. Of course the 1910 Expansion Pack seemed a likely "must have," and we were not disappointed.
  
  The card deck of wagon cards is completely replaced so you don't have to worry if your original deck is getting a bit worn. They are also proper playing card size, and much easier to shuffle and deal. The pack has the standard destination cards from the first game, the 1910 destination cards, Big City destination cards, and the Mystery Train destination cards. You can play the standard format, Big Cities only, or go for the gusto and challenge of the MEGA game by playing with all expansion packs together! Talk about a challenge!
  
  The new cards include every city on the map as one terminus of the destination tickets. It ads a new element and makes things very unpredictable. There is also a "most destination cards completed" extra point card, adding a new twist and taking you away from the longest train and making those short hops on the East Coast really worth going for.
  
  I would highly recommend this expansion pack to anyone who has purchased and enjoys the Ticket To Ride Game!
  
  

• Expensive add-on but rejunvenates the game

  Greatly improves the gameplay because in the original version of TTR whoever builds one of those long, northern routes with 5 and 6 car links always wins the game. The expansion set creates many smaller routes which can be doubled-up with existing routes and it makes it more worthwhile to pickup more destination tickets. Also, the bonus for most routes completed finally breaks the dominance of the long routes (near the Canadian border).
  
  On the minus side, I just paid 20 bucks for a pack of cards. Hello???? Otherwise it would have gotten 5 stars. Also, there is no way to "dock" the expansion set with the original box so now I have two boxes to carry around. Thanks alot WOW.
  
  There are three full variants included which require different strategeies.

  My and wife I love the Ticket to Ride expansion version. We like the larger cards better, although the small ones are fine, too. The new routes are our favorite aspect of the expansion version because they add a little something different to the original game. We love playing Ticket to Ride, it's addictive!
  
  
• Get this!

  If you have Ticket to Ride, you really need to get this expansion. Outside of the additional cards to add more routes, the main draw here is the full-sized deck. So much easier to handle and shuffle (and in the case of older players, see) than the original game's deck.
  
  You also get some additional destinations and game modes tied to those destinations. The Mystery Train cards are largely useless (they're for short distances and award minimal points)...nice to have but nothing special. The Big Cities cards add routes tied to certain big cities (like Los Angeles, Chicago, New York, etc.).
  
  You don't get extra pieces or any significant change in game play but this expansion helps. Realistically, it would have been better if they just incorporated this expansion into the main game and get it over with but I guess someone's got to make money somehow.
  
  
• Great game!

  This expansion set is great! It adds many more destinations and helps the game be a lot more challenging and fun. Definitely a great buy if you own the original Ticket to Ride.
  
  
• Gagawolala Review on Ticket To Ride 1910 Expansion
  By A152K53YYD2IJK on 2008-08-08
  I lost finally...to a group of people I play weekly game to.
  
  I like the feeling of losing, you know, winning all the time makes a game no fun anymore. I now know why some players only play certain games with people at their level.
  
  This game is classic. I really forgot how the original is played since every time I play, I play the 1910 Expansion. Perhaps there is no as much fighting for the routes and more harmony in the game. But where is the fun if there is not much competition.
  
  You with me ?
  
  
• Great expansion pack to a great game.

  We have played Ticket to Ride for awhile. The core game is really fun. I have always enjoyed trying to build the longest railroad line. The addition of this expansion pack really changes the game play and gives you a whole new game. If you have Ticket to Ride and love the game get this expansion pack it is great fun.
