A 600 point expansion for a 800 point game? I'm very dissapointed.

i absolutely LOVE this game, its very fun and addictive, but honestly i think the the expansions taht r to tome should have been included, once the other comes it its gonna like $25 game. thats a bit much an arcade game. i have how developers do tahta. they probably all ready have all the expansions made but just release them later knowing people will buy the, gay..............

Been waiting for this but 600 pts for an extra play board considering they still have one more to go.... no think so.

I really hope they fixed the ability to distinguish RED and ORANGE and BLACK and GRAY train tiles on the board. I can't tell the difference at all. I wrote them about it too.

:S this is quite more expensive than what I had expected... I'm not sure I'll buy it.

... I played this version at my friend's (the actual board game). After three games, I found (by observing my friend's victories) there's a single strategy that will win every time (depending on who gets the right cards first).
Quit playing after that. My other friend found the same strategy and proceeded to beat the owner of the game seven times in a row.
I'll pass.

There's a road along the top (8 tiles) and a road along the bottom (forget how long), but basically, if you can build those rails, before the other player does, you've won the game.
They're essentially worth more than the routes you're given to complete. In one particular game, I completed my two major routes and four or five minor ones. My opponent only finished one of his major routes and (at most) two minor routes, but won because of those two lines I mentioned.
So every game after that basically came down to a race to see who could get those two lines first.

hahahaha You're playing against NOOBS.
Any veteran Ticket to Ride player will smoke you almost instantly. Do you honestly think you've come upon an exploit no one's noticed on the board game or online PC game in the last couple of YEARS?!

By the way, how will that strategy work on the Euro-board?
Noob. Play against BoardGameGeek.com gamers and try that strategy. Hope you enjoy LOSING.
Probably don't even buy new routes during the game, either.

It does seem expensive compared to other XBLA games, but it is a bargain compared to purchasing the hard copy. I'm kinda frustrated with their decision as well, but in perspective it looks reasonable.

I am pretty disappointed at the price but as was said above, it is much cheaper than buying the real version. So in the end it is really a bargain.
I am sure I will break down and get it.

I agree. I bought the base game and enjoy it, but this is just too expensive. 400msp would be about right.

What's that, like $10? Considering I pay more to see a movie that I will enjoy for less time, I have a hard time complaining about 600 MS points.

TTR + expansion on XBLA: $17.50
TTR alone board game: $29.99 - $34.99

The 1910 expansion is out, and makes some interesting modifications to the core game. Best of all it's only 400 pts so that should silence some of the whiners.
