Sri Lanka (fan expansion for Ticket to Ride)

Description

--- **TLDR** Unofficial Ticket to Ride fan expansion with special board, Chance cards, God cards, end-game bonuses, and new rules for strategic scoring and route control. Key mechanics include: - *Chance cards* Dealt like tickets; city visits earn values, others provide facilities for ticket completion. - *God cards* Assist with color choice and parallel routes on a board lacking grey/parallel tracks. - *End-game bonuses* Up to 9 for additional scoring. - *New actions* Exchange all cards at start (keep new); discard 5/pick 5 as turn; earn double/triple points; call time at 3 wagons to halt others. - *Base integration* Requires US/Europe train pieces/cards; follows core scoring via routes and outwitting opponents. This unofficial fan-made Ticket to Ride expansion, produced with Days of Wonder permission for non-commercial use, adheres to base game principles on a unique board featuring special cards and rules. Players score points by claiming routes and outmaneuvering rivals, using train pieces and cards from US or Europe editions. Introduces Chance cards handled identically to tickets—some reward visiting specific cities with values, others grant facilities aiding ticket fulfillment—alongside up to 9 end-game bonuses. The board omits grey or parallel tracks, leaving color and route decisions to "Gods," mitigated by God cards. Enhanced options include starting with full card exchange (retaining new draws), turn-based discard of 5 for 5 new cards, double/triple point multipliers, and prematurely ending at 3 wagons to block opponents' completions. ---
