Ticket to Ride: USA 1910 Expansion

In the expansion review series, we take a look at a game expansion to discuss whether it is a necessary purchase/addition to one’s collection.

This breakdown is for the classic entry-level train game Ticket to Ride‘s expansion USA 1910.

This expansion fixes a giant problem that original Ticket to Ride suffered: the cards were all too small! The larger-sized cards can be seen below alongside the original tiny cards. In addition to larger train cards and destination cards, included are new destination cards and a special Globetrotter card to be earned at the end of the game. A minor rule adjustment is suggested in the USA 1910 rulebook, and a new variation of destination card mode can also be found in these rules.

I really have nothing to say here except I simply WILL NOT play Ticket to Ride without using the USA 1910 expansion. I am a big-handed man and having larger cards to handle are an absolute must for me. The new destination cards are also nice, but icing for me.


Official recommendation: Absolutely add this expansion to your game. No matter the cost.
