Channel Islands (fan expansion for Ticket to Ride)

This map is an unofficial Fan made expansion. Symbols & Graphics Copyright © 2004-2015 Days of Wonder, Inc. Produced with permission of Days of Wonder, for non-commercial use only. This follows the principles of the basic Ticket to Ride game on a special board with special cards and rules. The object of the game is to gain the most points by travelling various routes and outwitting other players. You will need the train pieces and the train cards from either the US or Europe base games (or you can buy them from the Days of Wonder shop. You can use stations if you wish. There is an extra set of cards for the "cities", each with a value to be earned by visiting that "city". These cards are dealt/picked up alongwith tickets in the same quantity and with the same 'keep/dispose' rules. Some of the cards give you extra facilities to complete your tickets. There are also up to 9 bonuses for the end-of-game scoring. The board does not have any grey tracks or parallel tracks, though there are limited selective options for these. The main new rule is the option to discard 5 cards and pick up 5 new ones, as your turn. This is very useful if you are desperate for engines or a particular colour card. You can also call time when your wagon stock reaches 3, if you want, giving you the advantage of stopping other players completing tickets.
