Hello travellers,

Today, we’re rolling out our latest patch update, which not only brings visibility improvements to the game across all platforms but also addresses stability and performance. This update includes:

Map Visibility Improvements (Phase 1):

• Adjusted camera framing for all screen sizes to provide a closer view of the map
  
• Enhanced train and track visibility
  
• Improvements to city names for increased readability
  
• General improvements to the map to increase clarity
  

This is just Phase 1 of our map visibility improvements, and it is just the beginning! Phase 2 will be released imminently and it will bring a brand new map view to the game. Stay tuned!

Bug Fixes:

• Changed the "Quit" button to "Resign" for clarity when leaving the game permanently. Thank you for raising this!
  
• Fixed a bug that could cause the game to get stuck if a player's timer expired when there were no cards to pick up
  
• Fixed a bug that would sometimes cause the game to get stuck after changing your screen resolution
  
• Fixed several stability issues caused by edge cases
  

We appreciate your ongoing feedback! Please keep reporting any issues or suggestions you may have to help us further improve the game via the Community Hub, Discord or [email protected].

Hello, travellers,

As we approach Q2, we couldn't be happier to share some exciting news with you!

Many of you have shared concerns about visibility issues, particularly regarding tracks and other elements on the Ticket to Ride maps. Simultaneously, others have praised the level of detail, dynamic animations, and immersive aspects of the current maps.

Having tried to accommodate both ends of the spectrum on a single map, we have reached the conclusion that any simplification takes away from the immersion that some of you like, and at the same time, the immersive direction takes away from the simplicity that an equally valuable segment of you prefer.

As such, we have decided to introduce a second map and give you the option to toggle between the two. You will have the current immersive option, but also a simplified one to play with!

This new simplified map will offer a streamlined, user-friendly interface that makes it easier to see and understand the game board, without compromising on the strategic depth that Ticket to Ride is known for. This should not only address concerns related to colourblind accessibility but also ensure that every player can fully enjoy the game. We're aiming to release it this Q2 2024, and we'll do our best to ensure it meets your expectations.

We’d like to thank every member of our community who took the time to share their constructive feedback, as this has been invaluable in guiding us toward this exciting new phase of development.

Greetings, travellers!

In this update, we’ve introduced the Nordic DLC 🎉, expanding your Ticket to Ride adventures to the breathtaking landscapes of the Nordic countries.

But wait, there's more!

We've also fixed these bugs to make your journey even smoother:

• Fixed not being able to zoom the map on certain devices.
  
• Fixed train cards being hidden behind the player panel when your opponent claims a route.
  
• Fixed an issue with resuming a game partway through claiming a tunnel.
  
• Fixed the skip button being partially offscreen at the start and end of a game.
  

Thanks for being part of our adventure and helping us identify any issues so we can tackle them as soon as possible! As we continue to work on improving your experience, we welcome your feedback in the Steam community, Discord or [email protected].

The Nordic Expansion pulls in at Platform 1, ready to take you on an all-new journey in Ticket to Ride!

Join two new characters, Mina and Morten, as they guide you across the Nordic map aboard two new trains! The Arctic Express keeps chugging between cities, dropping off passengers on time at their destinations. Meanwhile, the Frosthammer blasts through anything the weather throws at it – rain, sleet, snow or sun, it’ll get you from A to B!

Plus, there are two new carriages to relax in! See the Nordic countries from new heights with the impressive double-decker Hearthside, or cosy up inside the cute and comfortable Snowdrifter!


As you head across the Nordic map, you’ll encounter challenges and different gameplay mechanics, from the nine-train-long Murmansk-Lieksa route to locomotive cards only working on that goliath-length railway line, ferries and tunnels! With only 40 trains to start with instead of the usual 45, how will you tackle the incredible Murmansk-Lieksa route?


Well, help is at hand! You can opt to swap three railway car cards for one locomotive card, bringing you closer to grabbing that winding railway route – or snatching up shorter routes!


And that’s not all! With five tickets issued at the start of the round, you’ll be well on your way to getting the new Globetrotter bonus! The player with the highest number of completed tickets will get this lucrative bonus at the end of the round!



Prepare for a frosty adventure! The Nordic Expansion, the second stop on the Round the World Ticket, is available now. Ready to explore?
