How do you play the game?
Game Setup
Place the France map in the center of the table with the Westward Expansion map if you want to play with more players. Each player chooses a color and receives the classic materials (trains, Train Car cards, Destination Tickets). The starting rules are similar to the base game, but with a major new feature: each time you draw Train Car cards, you must immediately add a track to the board
Gameplay outline
In turn, each player performs one of the classic actions:
- Draw Wagon cards(and lay a track).
- Draw Destination cards.
- Claim a routeby discarding the required number of Wagon cards of the correct color.
The big difference here is thatlaying tracks does not guarantee immediate claimingof the route. You may sometimes have to compete with your opponents to secure control of an already built section, which adds an extra layer of strategy.
Win/Loss Condition
The game plays like the base version: players score points for claiming routes, completing Destination Tickets, and potentially bonuses (like the longest route). When the stock of trains is nearly depleted, the game ends and scores are compared to determine the grand winner.
Our Tips for Winning
-
Anticipate track laying with each pickaxe stroke
In this expansion, drawing cards leads to the placement of new tracks that can be claimed by all players. Plan your draws to avoid giving too many advantages to your opponents.
-
Control the strategic axes in France
Some routes between major cities (like Paris, Lyon, or Marseille) are highly sought after. Securing them early can limit your opponents' options and ensure a good score.
-
Bluff smart
Laying "decoy" routes can force your opponents to waste Train Car cards on non-essential connections, giving you time to complete your main objectives.
