Ticket to Ride™: The Emerald City is a fan-made, non-commercial expansion to the Ticket to Ride™ series by Alan R. Moon, published with permission from Days of Wonder, Inc. in 2013 by Rainshine Graphics as a tribute to the original game and the Pacific Northwest. Set in 1962 Seattle at the dawn of the monorail era post-Steam Age, players vie for rewards by identifying and building the best city routes to shape tomorrow's template, choosing to play solo (up to 4 players) or in teams (up to 6 players). It pioneers a map designed from the ground up for both modes, incorporating new rules tailored for experienced Ticket to Ride players while preserving all original rights to name, mechanics, and imagery held by Days of Wonder, who neither endorsed nor playtested it. ---
