Pros:
• This is a "full set" meaning you get the trains and tokens. (This is why I didn't get the India/Switzerland one which is also created for smaller groups.)
• Board and components seem to be of a decent quality so it's not going to fall apart on you.
• Most of the rules are pretty easy to understand, especially with a few YouTube tutorials
• Its engaging enough that you actually have to try as you map out your route but with enough luck sprinkled in as you draw your cards.
• It has replay-ability since it's not plot driven like other board games.
Cons:
• You only get 3 train sets so if you buy another expansion/extension board that uses 5-8 and not a full set down the line, you won't be able to utilize it.
• The city names/locations probably won't be very recognizable to the average American player. You will be spending a lot of time in the beginning trying to figure out where they are on the board when you first start playing. The cards do help with this though since they have a small image showing the route on them.
• It can be a little hard to read/locate spots where cities are close together and navigating the path between them.
• There were a couple instances of rules we weren't entirely sure of with the wild cards on tunnels and ferries as well as the longest route and the possibility of discarding destination tickets
• Keeping track of points takes some getting used to so recounts at the end are common.
Pro/Con:
• Created for 2 to 3 players
• Games can be 25-60 min
• It is not a fast paced game but more tactical
• It's easy to get some ugly strife going by purposely or accidentally blocking another players route.
But, TTR Nordic Countries, which is specifically designed for 2-3 players, is our favorite base game as it a fun and challenging map for two players (which is how we normally play). We also like that it incorporates both ferries (which require one or more locomotives to claim) and tunnels (which can very in length so you never know quite how long the route you are trying to claim will be) -- neither of which are included on the base USA map. Finally, we also like that it included two new color trains (i.e., purple and white -- the third color is black) compared to the base USA game.
The only negative thing I've noticed about the game is that it does not seem to be the best map to teach new players (especially non-gamers who may be unfamiliar with this sort of game to begin with). It seems one of the things we like best about the map (ferries and tunnels) turn out to be a bit too much to have to learn the first time around. So, it might not be the best way to enter the game or to introduce new players to the game (for that I'd recommend the USA map, but after a while that may feel too be too basic for seasoned players). But, if you are already familiar with any other TTR game, you should not be disappointed with Nordic Countries.
Without delving too deep into the game play, there are several things worth mentioning.
1. Locomotives (wild cards) may only be used on ferry or tunnel sections, and are treated like normal cards when drawing cards.
2. Finding the routes from the tickets can be a bit difficult. I haven't had much of an issue with this, but several people that I play with often voice confusion due to the cities being difficult to find.
3. The 9 train car route is possibly unfair when scoring. I have played 10-15 times within the past couple of weeks since I received the game, and the person completing the long route has won each game. It makes for a race to see who can complete this section the fastest. If you are unlucky enough to get a route that includes this 9 train section, you'd better hope you win the race, or you'll be forced to find another way around. I don't know yet if this will continue to be the case, but it may warrant a "house rule" by changing the point total for the section from 27 to 18, or treating it like a 6 train car section. I haven't made up my mind what to do about this, but it may possibly need to change at some point.
Other than a couple of differences, this edition is basically Ticket to Ride: Europe with a different map and for less players. Another great addition to this incredible game franchise, I still haven't met anyone that does not enjoy playing. You'll find yourself immersed in no time!
