Ticket to Ride Map Collection 6: France & Old West

Description

**Ticket to Ride Map Collection 6: France & Old West** is a double-sided expansion with innovative route-building: tile-placement on uncolored tracks in France (2-5 players) and city-placement networks in the Old West (2-6 players), both emphasizing strategic connections and bonuses. Key mechanics include: - *Tile placement (France)*: Draw 2-5 car colored tiles to build on uncolored track beds; overlaps block crossed beds; gray ferries exist. - *Route claiming*: Discard matching cards for colored routes (tiles or pre-colored singles) to complete tickets. - *City selection & network (Old West)*: Choose starting city; routes connect to network; place additional cities on ends via card pairs (one per city). - *Scoring shifts (Old West)*: Opponents score routes connecting to their cities; split if both ends owned; 15 points for most tickets. - *Endgame bonuses*: Longest continuous route and most tickets (France). - *Alvin variant (Old West)*: Roswell entry scores 10; move Alvin marker to controlled city; endgame controller gets 10 bonus. Ticket to Ride Map Collection 6: France & Old West features a double-sided board for 2-5 players on France (tile-driven track building on mostly uncolored beds with overlaps blocking alternatives, plus gray ferries) and 2-6 on Old West USA (starting city choice among three pieces, network-connected routes, post-route city placement via matching pairs limited to one per city, with connected opponent cities granting them points or split scoring). France emphasizes tile placement enabling claims and ticket completion with bonuses for longest route and most tickets; Old West prioritizes expanding personal networks while hijacking rivals' via connections, plus 15-point most-tickets bonus; optional Alvin the Alien variant adds Roswell-triggered 10-point chain-moving mechanic ending in 10 bonus points.
