Ticket to Ride: Northern Lights

Ticket to Ride is such a good design - simple rules, tension, big plays, gentle interaction. This Northern Lights version has a deck of end game scoring cards that helps with the variability from game to game. I'm also biased because I live in the Nordics :)

The map is really colorful and beautiful, even more than the Europe edition. I really love it and enjoy it.

No better and no worse than Nordic for 2 player. The end game cards can cause some swing at the end! The game is not language specific and the graphics on the board and the bonus cards are self explanatory, so reason for English only speakers to not get it. I've uploaded to files my own Google Translate and manual correction to English of the Swedish rules.

This is by far my favorite version of Ticket to Ride, and it's finally available in the USA.

A very much enjoyable variant of Ticket to Ride. The various end game bonus cards makes each game unique. The use of pairs instead of locomotives in certain situations gives the game a nice twist. Should be played with 3 or more players as a 2 player game can become quite unbalanced - especially if someone gets the whole west cost with associated tickets that easily stack up in points.
