Ticket to Ride Map Collection 8: Iberia & South Korea

Two distinct map modules place players on peninsulas where they build rail networks to complete destination tickets. On the Iberian map, players draft destination cards twice and must fulfill eight kept tickets while using a limited pool of trains. The deck includes festival cards that are placed next to cities when drawn; connecting to a city with festival cards lets a player collect them, and collected festivals score additional points at the end. On the South Korea map, routes are grouped by color and claiming a route lets a player place trains on a province mat in the matching color, aiming to occupy higher-numbered spaces by spending extra cards. Players also use express train cards (+1, +2, +3) to draw cards, draw tickets, or increase province-mat claims; highest totals per color score endgame bonuses.

Rules questions

Answered from the rulebook by Ludoya's rules assistant.

How many Destination Tickets do we keep from the opening draft?

In both maps, draft six tickets, then keep exactly four; you can’t change a ticket once you’ve selected it during the draft. (Iberia, p. 2; South Korea, p. 2)

Can I draw Destination Tickets right from the start on Iberia?

No. You can’t take the ticket-drawing action until Iberia’s second ticket draft has been completed. After that, draw three and keep at least one. (Iberia, p. 3)

What happens when I draw a Festival card on Iberia?

Reveal it and place it by its Festival city; it doesn’t count as one of your Train Car cards, so keep drawing until you get a Train Car card. Claiming a route into a Festival city lets you take its available Festival cards, but if the route connects two Festival cities, choose only one. (Iberia, p. 3)

Can the same player claim both tracks of a Double Route?

No. In four- or five-player games, both tracks can be claimed, but not by the same player; in two- or three-player games, only one track can be claimed, and the other is then unavailable. (Iberia, p. 2; South Korea, p. 2)

When can I use an Express Train card in South Korea, and can I use it again?

You may spend one before drawing Train Car cards or Destination Tickets to draw extra cards, or when placing a Train Car on the Province mat to increase its spot value. Each Express Train card is removed from the game after one use. (South Korea, pp. 2–3)

How do Province mat spots work in South Korea?

After claiming a route, you may place a Train Car on the Province mat’s matching-color line; for a gray route, choose any line. The spot is based on the number of cards played, and at game end you add up your spot values on each line to compete for that line’s bonus. (South Korea, pp. 2–3)
