On this game board, all gray routes are ferry routes, with these routes having 1-4 spaces marked with a wave symbol. ![]() The board also introduces a new type of ferry route. If you have separate networks, then you score each one separately. In Italy, the game board is divided into regions, and players score bonus points based on how many regions they connect in their network, with three regions - Sardegna, Sicilia, and Puglia - counting as two regions in your tally. You might have a ticket that lists a city outside Tokyo and a station with Tokyo, and you need to complete a route from that other city to Tokyo, then from the central Tokyo station to that particular subway station. This game board also has a small inlay for the Tokyo subway system, so players are effectively working on two networks at once. At the end of the game, whoever has contributed the most to this shared project receives the largest bonus, with the player who contributes least being penalized. To claim such a route, discard a number of cards equal to the length of the route with all the card being the same color, then mark the route with a single Bullet Train miniature instead of scoring points for such a route, advance your marker on the separate Bullet Train track as many spaces as the length of this route. In the Japan half of the expansion, some routes are reserved for the Bullet Train network, and once such a route is claimed, it can be used by all players to complete destination tickets. ![]()
