Check your watch – the Switzerland Expansion arrives today in Ticket to Ride®!

Travel from border to border with photographer Ayla Vogel and watchmaker Elias Hartmann aboard the Splendid Smokestack or the Blizzardblaster. Take passengers on a scenic route upon the Golden Wanderer carriage, or head to new heights in the Barrelbahn carriage.

Connect Switzerland’s neighbours – Austria, Germany, France and Italy – to complete tricky country-to-country tickets and score big points. With limited nodes available for each bordering country, you’ll need to quickly adapt to the board as routes are blocked off. If you leave a country-to-country ticket incomplete, it’ll deduct points at the end of the game...


To celebrate the launch of the Switzerland Expansion, we’re also releasing the Winter Wonderland bundle! This bundle contains two new festive tokens called the Santa’s Wheels and Special Tree-livery, perfect for adding a little Christmas magic to your next game!

The bundle also unlocks two brand-new player colours! With the Winter Wonderland bundle, you can stand out in your next game by picking terrific teal or perfect purple.

Ticket to Ride®: Switzerland Expansion introduces an exciting new mechanic – country-to-country tickets.

These tickets can mean big scores or deductions for players, so they need to be utilised effectively. Here are some tips and tricks to navigate the country-to-country tickets.

[h3]🗺️ Identify hub cities[/h3]
Take a look at the map and figure out which cities connect to multiple important destinations. For example, Zurich features on nine normal tickets and one of the four city-to-country tickets.

[h3]🔒 Lock or block[/h3]
Slow opponents down by blocking routes or locking them down for yourself! Shorter connections can make or break another player’s plans.

[h3]⭕ Secure country nodes quickly[/h3]
The bordering countries on the map have limited nodes, so if you’re aiming to complete a country-to-country ticket, make sure to grab the node you need early on. These routes also end at the country in question, making them a dead end; you’ll have to plan for that too!

[h3]🎫 Be realistic with tickets[/h3]
Country-to-country tickets can be a huge boost to your endgame total, but if you fail to complete them, they can also cost you the game. Consider where you are in the game before taking on a country-to-country ticket!

Ticket to Ride®: Switzerland Expansion arrives 10th December 2024.
