Board & Card Games

Welcome to Board & Card Games Stack Exchange

site icon

Board & Card Games Stack Exchange is a question and answer site for people who like playing board games, designing board games or modifying the rules of existing board games. It's built and run by you as part of the Stack Exchange network of Q&A sites. With your help, we're working together to build a library of detailed answers to every question about board or card games.

We're a little bit different from other sites. Here's how:

Ask questions, get answers, no distractions

This site is all about getting answers. It's not a discussion forum. There's no chit-chat.

Just questions...

...and answers.

Good answers are voted up and rise to the top.

The best answers show up first so that they are always easy to find.

The person who asked can mark one answer as "accepted".

Accepting doesn't mean it's the best answer, it just means that it worked for the person who asked.

Do Ticket to Ride expansions work with the Europe set?

14

I have and love Ticket to Ride: Europe, and would like to try out some of the new expansion packs (Switzerland, Asia, etc... Don't really care about 1910). I was just wondering if I would have to buy the original USA game first or if the new maps would work with the Europe set. Thanks!

Also don't forget that Ticket To Ride: Alvin & Dexter is an expansion that can work with any of the base TTR games. It expands the game in a different direction; adding a giant dinosaur and an alien who can create havoc for those trying to build to/from a certain location.

Either of those big boxes is fine.

Märklin is not perfectly compatible, since the train car deck is a little bit off, and Nordic Countries only has enough trains for three players. That's why those boxes are not quite compatible with the expansion maps.

Get answers to practical, detailed questions

Focus on questions about an actual problem you have faced. Include details about what you have tried and exactly what you are trying to do.

Ask about...

  • Questions on collectible card games, "German" style boardgames, traditional boardgames, traditional card games, strategic games, cooperative boardgames or minature wargames
  • Questions on other games played around a table by humans.

Not all questions work well in our format. Avoid questions that are primarily opinion-based, or that are likely to generate discussion rather than answers.

Questions that need improvement may be closed until someone fixes them.

Don't ask about...

  • Anything not directly related to board or card games
  • Questions about role-playing games or puzzles
  • Questions about computer games
  • Questions that are primarily opinion-based
  • Questions with too many possible answers or that would require an extremely long answer
  • Requests for game recommendations

Tags make it easy to find interesting questions

All questions are tagged with their subject areas. Each can have up to 5 tags, since a question might be related to several subjects.

Click any tag to see a list of questions with that tag, or go to the tag list to browse for topics that interest you.

Welcome! This expansion sounds very interesting, I'd like to try it out. However, this answer does not really address the question above. This post would be better as a comment. Comments (like this) can be left on either questions or answers, however they don't score any reputation. - Joe Flynn Aug 31, 2014 at 13:20
