Explore Poland, build valuable international rail connections and earn Country card bonuses in this map expansion for Ticket to Ride, Ticket to Ride 2025 Refresh, or Ticket to Ride Europe.
Product Description
Travel from the Baltic coast to the Tatra Mountains in Ticket to Ride Map Collection Vol. 6.5: Poland, an expansion that brings a fresh network-building challenge to the Ticket to Ride system.
Players step into the role of railway magnates developing Poland's rail network while also looking beyond its borders. Claim routes between Polish cities, complete Destination Tickets and create connections to neighbouring countries as you build an increasingly valuable railway network.
What makes the Poland map especially interesting is its focus on international connections. When your growing network reaches a neighbouring country and connects it with another country already linked to your railway, you may earn Country cards worth additional points. The most valuable Country cards are claimed first, so reaching those connections before your rivals can make a meaningful difference.
The familiar Ticket to Ride actions remain at the heart of play, including drawing Train Car cards, claiming routes and collecting new Destination Tickets, while the Poland map introduces its own strategic opportunities around country connections and limited bonus cards.
Designed for 2 to 4 players, Ticket to Ride: Poland offers a focused new way to experience Ticket to Ride without replacing the core game you already know.
