The Ticket to Ride Map Collection: Volume 4 - Nederland contains a new game board with new rules for use with Ticket to Ride or Ticket to Ride: Europe, where players build railway lines in the Netherlands.
The basics of the TtR game remain the same — players collect train cards to claim routes between pairs of cities, with the general goal of completing the tickets they hold in their hand — but Ticket to Ride: Nederland adds two new aspects to the game. First, almost every route on the game board is double, with two lines connecting the cities. Both of these routes are in play regardless of the number of players in the game.
Second, each route — whether double or single — has a toll that the player must pay when building on that route. On a single route or the first line of a double route, the player pays this toll — which costs 1-4 coins — to the bank. On the second line of a double route, the player pays this toll to the player who created the first line.
Players start the game with 30 coins, and if you cannot pay a toll, you must take a loan card to cover the cost, with each loan costing you 5 points at the end of the game.
Additionally, coins are important because at the end of the game, players receive bonuses based on how many coins they hold relative to others. In a five-player game, for example, the player with the most coins earns 55 bonus points, the player in second place earns 35 points, and the remaining players earn 20, 10, and 0 points. If you have taken a loan, however, you cannot receive this bonus, so players are incentivized to build early and often.
The coin bonuses are balanced by the plethora of high-value destination tickets: six of them are worth 29+ points, while another seventeen are worth 17-26 points.
