2009
From designer:
In 2006, UK computer science professor David Millard published what quickly became a very popular "aftermarket" United Kingdom map for the amazing and wildly popular board game Ticket to Ride by Days of Wonder.
After playing (and very much enjoying) David's map a number of times - and having a little time on my hands during an extended job search - I set about to create an updated version. Some of my goals:
Spread the board a little and improve a handful of the "bottleneck" and "bypass" areas with a bit more grid-like access, particularly useful for playing with 4-5 players
Significantly add to the set of routes, making the game play a little more like the 1910 expansion to the original Ticket to Ride U.S. map.
Improve on the already well-done aesthetics if I could, while we were at it.
