Ticket to Ride®: Switzerland Expansion introduces an exciting new mechanic – country-to-country tickets.

These tickets can mean big scores or deductions for players, so they need to be utilised effectively. Here are some tips and tricks to navigate the country-to-country tickets.

Take a look at the map and figure out which cities connect to multiple important destinations. For example, Zurich features on nine normal tickets and one of the four city-to-country tickets.

Slow opponents down by blocking routes or locking them down for yourself! Shorter connections can make or break another player’s plans.

The bordering countries on the map have limited nodes, so if you’re aiming to complete a country-to-country ticket, make sure to grab the node you need early on. These routes also end at the country in question, making them a dead end; you’ll have to plan for that too!

Country-to-country tickets can be a huge boost to your endgame total, but if you fail to complete them, they can also cost you the game. Consider where you are in the game before taking on a country-to-country ticket!
