Hispaniola (fan expansion for Ticket to Ride)

Description

--- <TLDR> Fan-made Ticket to Ride expansion adds tourist cards, treasure hunts, 9 bonuses, and new rules like card exchanges for strategic route-building and scoring. </TLDR> Key mechanics include: - *Tourist cards* Dealt like tickets with keep/dispose rules; earn values by visiting cities. - *Treasure hunt* Discover options along tracks that help or hinder progress. - *Bonuses* 9 total, including large treasure reward, for extra points. - *New actions* Exchange all cards at start (keep new); discard 5 for 5 new as turn; earn extra points; additional options. - *Early game end* Call time when wagon stock hits 3 to prevent opponents completing tickets. - *Board features* No grey or parallel tracks; relies on basic route travel and outwitting players. This unofficial fan-made Ticket to Ride expansion, produced with Days of Wonder permission for non-commercial use, follows core game principles on a special board with unique cards and rules. Players score points by claiming routes, outmaneuvering opponents, using train pieces and cards from US or Europe base sets. Tourist cards, handled identically to tickets, award points for city visits. A treasure hunt yields helpful or hindering options en route, with no grey or parallel tracks. Nine bonuses provide extra points, highlighted by a major treasure find. Enhanced rules introduce starting full card exchanges (retaining new ones), turn-based discards of 5 for 5 new cards, extra point earnings, and more. Players can trigger game end at 3 remaining wagons, blocking rivals' ticket completions. ---
