Hungary (fan expansion for Ticket to Ride)

Description

--- Unofficial fan-made Ticket to Ride expansion map adds city cards and strategic rules for enhanced route-building competition (22 words). Key mechanics include: - *City cards* Extra cards with point values earned by visiting cities, dealt like tickets with keep/dispose rules; some provide facilities to complete tickets. - *Card refresh turn* Players may discard 5 cards and draw 5 new ones as a full turn, aiding acquisition of engines or specific colors. - *Bonuses* Up to 9 end-game scoring bonuses. - *Early game-end* Option to call game when wagon stock hits 3, preventing opponents from completing tickets. - *Base integration* Uses train pieces and cards from US or Europe editions; stations optional. This unofficial, fan-made Ticket to Ride expansion map adheres to core game principles on a custom board with added cards and rules, aiming for maximum points via route travel and player outmaneuvering. It requires components from US or Europe base games (train pieces, cards; stations optional). Introduces "city" cards—valued for visitation, handled like destination tickets (same quantity, keep/dispose)—with some granting ticket-completion aids, plus up to 9 end-game bonuses. Key innovation: full-turn discard of 5 cards for 5 new draws, ideal for securing locomotives or colors. Players can trigger game-end at 3-train stock threshold, blocking rivals' completions for advantage. ---
