Ticket to Ride launches new Switzerland expansion

Author: Carter Apr 05,2025

A new route to Switzerland is now open in Ticket to Ride, thanks to the Switzerland Expansion, enhancing the digital strategy board game with both country-to-country and city-to-country routes. Players can now expand their railroad empire through Switzerland and its neighboring countries, adding a fresh layer of strategy and excitement to the game.

The expansion introduces two new characters and four new tokens, perfectly timed for the holiday season. Marmalade, the developer, aimed to release this expansion as a special gift for Ticket to Ride fans. Not only does it bring new locations into play, but it also introduces new mechanics that challenge players to rethink their strategies as they strive to build a thriving railroad empire. The expansion is crafted to cater to both newcomers and seasoned players, promoting a dynamic and engaging gameplay experience.

Country-to-country tickets allow players to connect one country to another as specified on the ticket, offering multiple options and varying point values. For example, a ticket might give you the choice to connect France to Germany, Italy, or Austria, each connection yielding different points upon completion.

Every country features a specific number of nodes, necessitating quick and strategic planning to secure the most advantageous routes. City-to-Country tickets function similarly, requiring players to connect a city to a country as indicated.

Upon completing a route, players earn points based on the highest-scoring completed connection listed on each ticket. However, failing to make any connections results in a loss of points equivalent to the lowest value on the ticket.

The Switzerland Expansion is now available on Google Play, the App Store, and Steam, with an upcoming release on PlayStation, Nintendo Switch, and Xbox. To stay updated with Ticket to Ride and get the latest news, follow MarmaladeGames on Facebook and Instagram.
