About the game
What you do in a play session
If you have played Ticket to Ride hundreds of times and feel like you know every train card by heart, the 'Dice Expansion' is here to shake up your board. Forget the classic strategy of hoarding colored cards in your hand waiting for the perfect moment; here, the chaos of dice takes control. You replace drawing cards with rolling five custom dice, which dictate what you can do on your turn. Want to claim a route? You need specific icons. Need to draw more destination tickets or grab route tokens for later? The dice will decide if luck is on your side or if you need a second chance. The 're-roll' mechanic allows for that classic tension of pushing your luck, making games much more dynamic and unpredictable. If you are playing on a map that features tunnels, like the beloved Ticket to Ride: Europe, the expansion includes extra dice to handle that specific mechanic, ensuring the experience stays true to the original map but with an extra kick. It is important to remember that this box is an add-on: you will need the trains, destination tickets, and board map from any game in the series you already own. It is a fantastic way to breathe new life into a game you already love, turning methodical planning into a much faster-paced risk management challenge. If you enjoy a bit of randomness and want to see your friends pulling their hair out because the die didn't land as planned, this expansion is a must-have for your collection. Get ready to see your routes blocked in ways you never imagined, all because of an unlucky — or brilliant — die roll!
