Ticket to Ride Legacy: Legends of the West

The map literally grows. The United States is split into 13 jigsaw pieces, only five of which form the starting board, and the winner of each game chooses where the map expands next. Over the 12-game campaign new cards, rules and stickers pile up, and what you complete is stored in a vault box to be tallied after the final game. It suits a group that already loves Ticket to Ride and wants a long, familiar arc rather than shocking twists; Shut Up & Sit Down found that it plays things safe. It is also one of the pricier boxes here, listed at around $120 when it launched. When the campaign ends you can keep playing it as a regular Ticket to Ride game.
