This version was initially available only in the Nordic Countries of Denmark, Norway, Sweden, and Finland; a worldwide limited-edition release occurred in August 2008 and it has since been kept in print again by Days of Wonder.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe goal in \"Nordic\" remains the same as base Ticket to Ride: collect and play cards to place your trains on the board, attempting to connect the different cities on your ticket cards. The map incorporates tunnels from Europe and also has routes containing ferries. Ferries will require a certain number of Locomotives to be played, as well as other cards, in order to be claimed. Locomotives are handled a bit differently as well. On your turn you may take 2 Locomotives if you want, but you can only use them on ferries, tunnels, or the special 9 length route.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnlike the USA or Europe maps, Nordic is designed for 2-3 players only and has a heavier focus on blocking your opponent and more aggressive play.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlthough not an official expansion for this set,\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/boardgamegeek.com\/boardgameexpansion\/182078\/ticket-to-ride-map-collection-5-united-kingdom-and\"\u003eTicket to Ride Map Collection 5: United Kingdom \u0026amp; Pennsylvania\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003ecan be used as an expansion for\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eNordic Countries\u003c\/em\u003e, although limited to the three players included in this set.\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eNordic Countries\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eincludes three sets of 40 trains, with 5 spare for each colour; the UK map in\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/boardgamegeek.com\/boardgameexpansion\/182078\/ticket-to-ride-map-collection-5-united-kingdom-and\"\u003eTicket to Ride Map Collection 5: United Kingdom \u0026amp; Pennsylvania\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003erequires 35 trains and the Pennsylvania map requires 45 trains.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePart of the\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca class=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/boardgamegeek.com\/wiki\/page\/Ticket_to_Ride_series#\"\u003eTicket to Ride series\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hoodie Cat Game Lounge","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52164474011929,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0929\/9345\/4361\/files\/tickettoridenordiccountries.webp?v=1775259740","url":"https:\/\/hoodie-catgamelounge.com\/products\/ticket-to-ride-nordic-countries","provider":"Hoodie Cat Game Lounge","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
