Japan Expansion for Ticket to Ride: Build the 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 for the digital version of this beloved board game introduces a fresh and exciting twist to your gameplay experience.

Help Build the Train Network

For the first time, the iconic Japan map from the physical game is now available on digital platforms. This expansion offers a unique twist: instead of solely focusing on building your personal train empire, you contribute to constructing a national Bullet Train network accessible to all players. It's a cooperative yet strategic experience. While you can attempt to be cunning and let others do the heavy lifting while you accumulate points, beware—the game features a karma system. Neglect your Bullet Train responsibilities, and you might lose up to 20 points when the final scores are tallied. So, while you can plot to outsmart your friends, you'll need to lend a helping hand to keep your score intact.

The Japan Expansion also introduces two captivating new characters. Nakanishi Kimiko, a travel blogger, brings the vibrancy of Japan's festival scene to life, accompanied by her loyal dog. Meanwhile, Moriyama Isamu, a gyōji or sumo referee, adds a touch of Japan's rich historical culture, enhancing the game's local flavor beyond just maps and trains.

Ticket to Ride Has Upgraded Trains with the Japan Expansion

Your train collection is set to receive an upgrade with the Japan Expansion. It introduces two new trains and two carriages to enrich your gameplay. The Ichi Eki Saki train and the Tsuki Sleeper carriage are perfect for those who prefer a more relaxed travel experience. On the other hand, the Isogaba Maware train, paired with the Hayai carriage, offers speed and efficiency for the more ambitious players.

As spring blooms, the Japan map promises to enhance your gaming sessions with its seasonal charm. The Japan Expansion is now available for download, ready to bring a fresh twist to your Ticket to Ride adventures. You can find it on the Google Play Store.
