## Description

Product Description Venture into the Heart of Africa to build routes through some of the con- tinent’s most remote and desolate locales. Will you bolster your terrain surveying skills and local knowledge to try and establish more valuable routes—or dare to dash across the continent in a mad race to cut the game short? From the Manufacturer Introducing the 3rd volume in the Ticket to Ride Map Collection Vol. 3 - The Heart of Africa. Set in the vast wilderness of Africa at the height of its exploration by intrepid explorers, missionaries and adventurers, this new single-sided board map focuses on the central and southern heart of the continent displayed in a vertical format. This new map introduces 45 new Terrain Cards, divided into 3 different Terrain Types. Each Terrain Type is associated with different Route colors: Desert/Savanna cards for Yellow, Orange and Red Routes; Jungle/Forest cards for Green, Blue and Purple Routes; and Mountain/Cliff cards for Black, White and Grey Routes. Players can draw Terrain cards just like Train cards and they may use these to double the value of the routes they claim. Designed for 2-5 players, ages 8+, this expansion takes 30-60 minutes and requires Train cards and Trains from either Ticket to Ride or Ticket to Ride Europe.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can this expansion be played with TTR: Marklin as the base set?**
A: Yes, but... Marklin has 11 train cards of each color, while USA and Europe have 12 of each. So you can just live with that, or you could mark 8 of the passenger cards with the needed colors (1 of each), or you can buy replacement cards for TtR:Europe from daysofwonder.com for $5. You can use the trains from Marklin as is.

**Q: When will this be back in stock?**
A: We have a copy of this in stock right now.-- Respectfully,Robert S. Solow, Ph.D.CLS GamesAtlanta's Board Game WarehouseLAND: 770.966.8340CELL: 770.310.2498

**Q: Can someone explain the section that ends in "In other words, separate routes leading into a same country are not connected with each other."?**
A: It refers specifically to those open ended routes at the top of the map. Two different unconnected routes come into those countries, unlike anywhere else in the game.

**Q: Is there somalian pirates that steal your trains?**
A: Nope, just your train cards
