The new Ticket to Ride maps!

Yep, they're almost here!  Two new sets of maps for Ticket To Ride, one of the greatest games ever invented, and they're supposed to be available before the end of the year.  These include two of the TTR map contest winning designs and there are also some clever new rules to go along with both sets (including a team variant!).  You can read the new rules at the Days of Wonder website.

But if you're if like me, you just wanna see what the new maps of India and Asia look like.  Click on them to see larger images:

Indian subcontinent, with the new "Mandala" bonuses

Team Asia, for 4 or 6 players in teams of 2

Legendary Asia, with mountain passes that destroy your trains!  Wicked.

It's gonna be a fantastic Christmas....
