One of my favorite expansions. The lakes like one big station, making connections a breeze – especially for travelers. Who doesn't love to score lots of points? Rating: Amazing • 9/10

Description
Your goal is to build Lakes and place Ferries in them to score points. Lakes also have another purpose: you can send a route into the lake side of a tile to create a Harbor (a bit like Canal End tokens work in the Canals Expansion), and all routes that are connected to the same Lake via Harbors are also connected to each other... basically, Lakes act as big Stations!
Another special feature of the Lake Expansion also lies in the way Ferries are placed. At the end of each round, when you look at the active Placement tokens and place pawns accordingly, you must also look at each one of your Lakes: if you have more Harbors than Ferries in a certain Lake, you may place 1 Ferry pawn for free on any empty Ferry pin point until you have an equal number of Ferries and Harbors in that Lake.
You score 1 point +1 point for each Ferry in the same Lake, up to a maximum of 3 Prestige points (they have a lower point limit than other pawns, which can be worth up to 5 points each, but you also place them for free on top of those coming from the 2 Placement tokens, instead of in place of 1 of them).
Like all expansions, the Lake Expansion comes with a few Objectives as well: for example, the Fishermen's Island must be reachable by at least 3 Traveler pawns, while the Hydroelectric Plant must be part of a closed Lake with no open sides.

Fabulous expansion! Love the flexibility of the ports and connecting the roads that way. create a whole new thinking pattern that is so much fun.
A strange wrinkle to get your head around is remembering that a tile edge with water CAN be placed adjacent to railroad or highway, but NOT placed adjacent to water. So I tend to not play with this expansion with new players. But the placement of lake tiles is really great--very easy to place due to being able to be connected to rarilroads/highway, and makes closing open connections easier and more forgiving.
CAUTION! Not suitable for children under 3 years of age. It contains small parts which could be swallowed or inhaled.
