## Overview

The Asmodee Ticket to Ride: The Heart of Africa Expansion introduces a vibrant new vertical map with 45 terrain cards across desert, jungle, and mountain biomes.

Requires the base Ticket to Ride game to play.

## Description

Product Description Venture into the Heart of Africa to build routes through some of the con- tinent’s most remote and desolate locales. Will you bolster your terrain surveying skills and local knowledge to try and establish more valuable routes—or dare to dash across the continent in a mad race to cut the game short? From the Manufacturer Introducing the 3rd volume in the Ticket to Ride Map Collection Vol. 3 - The Heart of Africa. Set in the vast wilderness of Africa at the height of its exploration by intrepid explorers, missionaries and adventurers, this new single-sided board map focuses on the central and southern heart of the continent displayed in a vertical format. This new map introduces 45 new Terrain Cards, divided into 3 different Terrain Types. Each Terrain Type is associated with different Route colors: Desert/Savanna cards for Yellow, Orange and Red Routes; Jungle/Forest cards for Green, Blue and Purple Routes; and Mountain/Cliff cards for Black, White and Grey Routes. Players can draw Terrain cards just like Train cards and they may use these to double the value of the routes they claim. Designed for 2-5 players, ages 8+, this expansion takes 30-60 minutes and requires Train cards and Trains from either Ticket to Ride or Ticket to Ride Europe.

Review: Fun Game, Great Quality - A well-made and fun board game. Highly recommend!
Review: Adds some nice strategy and replayability to already fun game - We've been playing a lot of TTR lately, so I decided to buy all of the map collections. This on is another great addition that works very well with two players. The Heart of Afria adds terrain cards. You get one terrain card with your for train cards at the beginning of the game, then you can pick them just like you would pick a train card (so you could pick two train cards, two terrain cards, or one of each on your turn). You can spend one matching terrain card to double the points for a route of the same color that is 1-3 long, and two terrain cards to double the points for a route that is 4-6 long. After a few plays it appears there are multiple ways to win (focusing on doubling route points, focusing on tickets, etc.). We were very happy to see this as it is possible that circumstances might be such that you will not be able to double the value of a route every time you want to. Otherwise, it has the same luck and more strategy components than TTR USA. In fact, we rarely play the USA map these days... mostly play this one, India and Switzerland, and are looking forward to giving Asia a try.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can this expansion be played with TTR: Marklin as the base set?**
A: Yes, but... Marklin has 11 train cards of each color, while USA and Europe have 12 of each. So you can just live with that, or you could mark 8 of the passenger cards with the needed colors (1 of each), or you can buy replacement cards for TtR:Europe from daysofwonder.com for $5. You can use the trains from Marklin as is.

**Q: When will this be back in stock?**
A: We have a copy of this in stock right now.-- Respectfully,Robert S. Solow, Ph.D.CLS GamesAtlanta's Board Game WarehouseLAND: 770.966.8340CELL: 770.310.2498

**Q: Can someone explain the section that ends in "In other words, separate routes leading into a same country are not connected with each other."?**
A: It refers specifically to those open ended routes at the top of the map. Two different unconnected routes come into those countries, unlike anywhere else in the game.

**Q: Is there somalian pirates that steal your trains?**
A: Nope, just your train cards

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ My grandson and husband love it.
*by A***R on March 12, 2013*

We bought our first Ticket to Ride game for Chrismtas 2011. Since then, we have ordered ALL of the games and additions. My grandson and husband love playing them. The games are made to last..........all of the pieces are sturdy and sealed in zip lock bags for storage. The colors are bright . The cards are thick and coated........not flimsy to split. The games cost a little more than the average games but they are worth every penny. Where else can you learn geography and stratagy and have so much fun? The games last a maximum of 1 hr. Each game has something different to give them a "twist". The box isn't huge - the boards fold twice. A couple of the games have a separate game on each side........so you get 2 games for the price of one and it makes storing them easy. They are planning a Ticket to Ride marathon during spring break. Our grandson was 9 when we started with the first. He has learned so much about world geography. Nana and Papa highly recommend them!!! Amazon makes it easy to order and since joined Amazon Prime...........free shipping. They always arrive ahead of schedule.
