Ticket to Ride Map Collection 8: Iberia & South Korea — Prices

If you're already a fan of building railways, this map collection brings two very different experiences to your table. First, we have the Iberian Peninsula, where the vibe is all about celebration! Beyond connecting cities, you'll deal with festival cards that pop up across the map. If you manage to link your route to these festivities, you collect the cards and score extra points at the end. The catch is that space is tight: you only have 35 trains to complete eight destinations, so every single placement must be strategic. The destination drafting at the start of the game immediately puts everyone in planning mode.

Then there's South Korea, where the gameplay shifts. Here, routes are grouped by colors across different regions of the country. When you claim a route, you can mark your presence on a province mat by placing trains in spaces matching the color and number of cards played. Want to climb the province rankings? You can overspend cards to secure a higher number. To speed things up, you have 'Express Train' cards (+1, +2, +3), which act as bonuses to draw more train cards, grab new destination tickets, or boost your province mat standing. It's a game of efficiency and timing, where controlling the colored regions can be the key to victory. Essentially, it's the Ticket to Ride you know and love, but with local twists that force you to rethink your strategy for each map.
