No — if you draw a face‑up Locomotive you may only draw one card; if three of the five face‑up cards are Locomotives all five are discarded and replaced (p.4). ### What are Locomotive +4 cards and when can I use them? Locomotive +4 cards are wild but may only be used to claim routes of 4 spaces or longer; unlike regular Locomotives you may still draw two cards when you draw a Locomotive +4 (pp.4–5). ### How do Passenger cards and moving Passengers work? When you claim a route you may place one of your Passengers in either city of that route (only one Passenger per city); to move a Passenger (one per turn) it travels along your continuous routes picking up Merchandise Tokens, you may play Passenger cards to use an opponent’s route (one Passenger card per opponent route), you cannot backtrack over the same route, and the Passenger is removed from the game after moving (pp.3–4). ### When I draw Destination Tickets at setup or during the game, how many must I keep? At setup you draw four Tickets and must keep at least two (you may keep three or four); during the game you draw four Tickets and must keep at least one (any returned cards go to the bottom of their decks), and you must announce which combination of short/long tickets you are drawing (pp.3,6). ### Can I lay part of a route now and finish it on a later turn, or claim more than one route in a turn? No — a route must be claimed in its entirety during a single turn, and you may claim no more than one route on your turn (p.5). ### What triggers the end of the game and what happens then? When one player's stock of colored train cars is down to two or fewer at the end of his turn, every player (including that player) gets one final turn, and then final scoring occurs (p.6). ## Links - [This page](https://www.ludoya.com/games/ticket-to-ride-marklin) - [Ticket to Ride: Märklin in the Ludoya app](https://app.ludoya.com/g/ticket-to-ride-marklin) - [BoardGameGeek entry](https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/21348) _Data from Ludoya, updated 2026-09-18.
