If both endpoints of the route have cities, then the owner of each city scores these points. Whenever a player builds a route that connects to a city owned by another player, the owner of the city claims the points for the route, not the player placing the trains. Only one city marker can be in each city. The first route that a player claims must have this city as one of the route’s two endpoints, and each subsequent route claimed must connect to that player’s existing network.Īfter claiming a route, a player can place one of their remaining cities on either end of that route by discarding a matching pair of train cards. In the Old West half of the expansion, 2-6 players start the game by choosing (in reverse player order) a starting location for one of their three city pieces. At the end of the game, players score their tickets, with bonuses being awarded for longest continuous route and most tickets completed.
(Single-length routes are already colored, and the map contains a number of gray-colored ferry routes.)Multiple track beds on the game board overlap, and once a tile has placed on the board, any track beds crossed by this tile are off-limits and nothing can be built on them. Once you’ve done this, any player can claim that route by discarding the appropriately colored cards from hand, as in any other Ticket to Ride game. In the France half of this expansion, 2-5 players collect train cards and claim routes in order to complete tickets in hand, but most of the tracks on the board aren’t colored! Each time that you draw cards, you must take a colored tile that’s 2-5 train cars long and place that tile on an empty track bed.

For short trips the charge was ten to fifteen cents per mile.Īnother source says 1885 prices. Regardless of class, all had to suffer and endure the lack of sleep, bad food and the elements. A ticket from San Antonio to San Diego cost $200. The cost of a stagecoach ticket for the 2,812-mile journey from Tipton, Missouri to San Francisco was $200 and that didn’t cover meals that cost a dollar. Others like the San Diego-San Antonio Mail, also known as the “Jackass Mail” because the sand dunes west of Yuma required the passengers to leave the coach and ride on the hurricane deck of a mule. First Class got to ride all the way Second Class had to get out and walk on steep grades and Third Class one not only had to walk but push on the hills.
