They have been inspected by one of our game experts and are certified \"Complete.\" You may find some minor imperfections, such as light wear on the box or on certain game components.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTicket to Ride: Nordic Countries\u003c\/strong\u003e takes you on a journey across Denmark, Finland, Norway, and Sweden, heading for the great northern cities of Copenhagen, Oslo, Helsinki, and Stockholm. This entry in the series designed by Alan R. Moon keeps the formula that made it famous: collect and play train car cards to place your trains on the board and connect the cities shown on your \u003cstrong\u003edestination tickets\u003c\/strong\u003e. The board weaves in tunnels and ferry routes that require a set number of Locomotives to claim; in Nordic Countries you can also draw as many Locomotives as you like on your turn, a freedom rare elsewhere in the series. Built exclusively for 2 or 3 players, this \u003cstrong\u003etrain game\u003c\/strong\u003e leans into a sharper edge than the other maps: every route your opponent claims first closes a door, and games move with the tension that comes from a smaller player count.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou'll likely enjoy Ticket to Ride: Nordic Countries if you're already a fan of the series and want a sharper variant built for small groups. It's also a great entry point for two-player duels: the 2-3 player format concentrates the action and rewards quick decisions, without losing the accessibility that made this \u003cstrong\u003efamily board game\u003c\/strong\u003e a hit with households everywhere.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFun fact: Ticket to Ride: Nordic Countries was first released exclusively in the \u003cstrong\u003eNordic countries\u003c\/strong\u003e before a worldwide limited edition launched in August 2008, which long made it a sought-after piece for series collectors. On BoardGameGeek, more than 15,000 players rate it an average of 7.6\/10, placing it among the best-reviewed titles in the family game category. The very first Ticket to Ride box won the prestigious Spiel des Jahres (Game of the Year) award in 2004, a recognition that helped launch the whole franchise into the ranks of modern board game essentials.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Nordic Countries map carries the signature of Alan R. Moon, the designer behind the entire Ticket to Ride series, also known for Union Pacific and for Elfenland, itself a Spiel des Jahres winner in 1998. The artwork is by Cyrille Daujean and Julien Delval, who give the Nordic board a visual identity distinct from the rest of the collection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBOX CONTENTS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1 game board depicting the Nordic countries\u003cbr\u003e120 colored train cars\u003cbr\u003e110 train car cards\u003cbr\u003e46 destination tickets\u003cbr\u003e1 Globetrotter bonus card\u003cbr\u003e3 wooden scoring markers\u003cbr\u003e1 rules booklet\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of players:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2 to 3\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlaying time:\u003c\/strong\u003e 30 to 60 minutes\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAge:\u003c\/strong\u003e 8 and up\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you want to protect your cards, you will need:\u003cbr\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.asdesjeux.com\/products\/art-sleeves-les-aventurier-du-rails-ticket-to-ride\"\u003e157 card sleeves sized 56 x 87 mm\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"L'As des jeux","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49146677133563,"sku":"210000005575","price":59.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0621\/5847\/1419\/files\/ticket-to-ride-nordic-countries-pre-joue-en-bazar-bazar-famille-1253114818.jpg?v=1785957791","url":"https:\/\/www.asdesjeux.com\/en\/products\/ticket-to-ride-nordic-countries-usage","provider":"L'As des jeux","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
