Arrived yesterday and entranced the family for hours, breaking the addiction to the original Ticket to Ride. The family immediately began playing the notorious robber baron, cut-throat Pennsylvania board. We soon discovered one must diversify one's stock holdings, keep an eye on what stocks are available and how many of them are issued to competitors. Be bold and obtain segments of those routes needed quickly while not giving hints of your intended destinations away too quickly. But, one must act fast and decisively if one intends to be the CEO of the greatest conglomerate holdings of the railroads that connect Pennsylvania with connecting states and Canada. Not for the non-competitive family members who might take "umbrage" if one or more of their intended routes are cut-off!
The other side of the board, the United Kingdom game is also a very interesting if not decidedly different play. We found it much slower paced as one must decide to obtain advanced technology and pay with locomotive cards, or try to complete routes without the advancement of technology. The spoiler is the route to America which can be completed with locomotives in part, but without technology and rewards a massive amount of points. This is a more cerebral game in many aspects, but still avails the player of the fun and excitement of the Ticket to Ride experience.

A Step above the original Ticket to Ride Game with new cards - Expansion
After spending a year in England and traveling over UK we were excited to try out the Ticket to Ride UK. This is a expansion board which means you need one of the original Ticket to Ride boards (US or Europe). There are a few new rules to this board which include concession cards (like a visa needed to enter another country) and technology cards. These took the game to the next level. It took our family a bit to figure out the game and we watched a few videos on how to play. I see this game staying in our family game night rotation!

De las mejores expansiones que hay para Ticket to Ride
Para mi, esta es la mejor expansión que hay de este gran juego.Saúl Martínez ChavelasDe las mejores expansiones que hay para Ticket to Ride

Su primer punto a favor es que tiene dos mapas, o sea que son como dos expansiones en una, y no como otras que incluyen un tablero con un solo mapa de un lado.
El mapa de Pensilvania añade una única mecánica sencilla de coleccionar tarjetas, pero ya eso lo hace un poco más estratégico y entretenido que el juego base.
El mapa del Reino Unido es que el me parece el mejor, ya que vuelve al juego más estratégico al tener que comprar distintas cartas de tecnología para poder ir construyendo las rutas. Estas cartas hacen que haya más diversidad entre las formas de conseguir puntos, ya que enfocarte en muchas cartas de tecnología hará que pierdas más turnos en eso y menos en generar puntos. Otro punto a favor de este mapa es el diseño. El borde es de colores pasteles muy llamativos, me gustó mucho eso. Adjunto una foto de ese detalle para que se entienda mejor.
Para mi esta es la expansión perfecta, ya que incluye un mapa básico para principiantes y otro un poco más avanzado para gente que prefiera un poco más de estrategia.
