Ticket to Ride: Rails & Sails - Nordisk

Ahoy there, landlubbers! Get ready for Ticket to Ride: Rails & Sails, the globetrotting adventure that will have you chugging along the tracks and sailing the high seas – all while trying not to lose your ship!

In this hilarious twist on the classic Ticket to Ride game, you'll be jet-setting across oceans and waterways, because, let's face it, walking is overrated. Collect colorful cards, claim routes with your trains and ships, and rack up those precious points. But watch out, mateys! When you're down to six tokens, the race gets even crazier with two more turns for everyone.

Prepare for some mind-bending decisions as you face the ultimate challenge of connecting cities on your tickets. Make it happen, and you'll earn those sweet points. Fail, and it's "Arrrgh!" as you walk the plank and lose points instead.

To add some spice to the mix, the card decks are split between trains and ships, with wild cards making things even wilder! And why choose between trains and ships when you can have both? Swap 'em around, but beware the point deduction – no free rides in this game!

Now, hold on to your hats, folks, 'cause we're not done yet. Some tickets have tour routes with multiple cities – nail that tour, and you'll be sailing your way to even more points! And if that's not enough, you'll also get to build harbors – just make sure you don't get stranded without them. Discard the right cards, and you'll be rolling in the booty (ahem, points).

Oh, did we mention the double-sided game board? One side takes you on a whirlwind tour of the world, and the other sails you through the majestic Great Lakes of North America. Different starting cards and tokens await, depending on which side you choose. But don't worry, the fun is doubled either way!

So gather your shipmates, dust off your captain's hat, and embark on the epic adventure that is Ticket to Ride: Rails & Sails – where trains, ships, and a barrel of laughs await! All aboard, me hearties, and may the wind be ever in your favor!
