Zug um Zug: Deutschland is the German edition of the classic Ticket to Ride — and it’s a standalone game, no extras needed. Here, you collect colored cards to claim routes between cities across the German map (yes, the same one as in Ticket to Ride: Märklin), building your own rail network to fulfill the secret destination tickets you draw at the start. Players score points for completed routes and objectives, but unfinished tickets dock points at game end. This German/Austrian version skips Märklin’s passenger-scoring mechanic and tweaks the number of destination tickets and train cards slightly — plus it includes the 'Globetropper' bonus card for extreme network domination. It’s Ticket to Ride with a distinct regional flavor: light, quick to teach, and dripping with early-1900s railway charm — when trains meant progress, adventure, and maybe a little chaos if someone stole your favorite corridor. Perfect for family nights, casual game groups, or even office outings… as long as no one holds a grudge over a well-timed route block.
