Virtual Journey Through Japan Begins
The beloved board game Ticket to Ride expands its digital horizons with its Japan Expansion. Marmalade Game Studio and Asmodee Entertainment have brought the iconic Japanese rail network to life in this new downloadable content.
Building Connections Together
For its digital debut, the Japan map introduces an innovative twist on the classic formula. Players now collaborate on constructing Japan's famous Bullet Train network while still competing for individual routes.
A Twist on Competition
The expansion introduces cooperative elements with sharp competitive consequences. Neglect your Bullet Train contributions, and you'll face a 20-point penalty at game's end - balancing teamwork with strategy.
New Faces Join the Rails
The Japan Expansion introduces two culturally-rich characters:
- Nakanishi Kimiko: A travel blogger exploring Japan's festivals with her canine companion
- Moriyama Isamu: A traditional sumo referee bringing historical authenticity
Upgraded Rolling Stock
The expansion enhances gameplay with new transportation options:
- Ichi Eki Saki train with Tsuki Sleeper carriage
- Isogaba Maware train paired with ultra-efficient Hayai carriage
With its seasonal spring scenery, the Japan Expansion offers perfect timing for virtual travelers. Available now for download, this expansion revitalizes the classic Ticket to Ride experience.
