Ticket to Ride Germany - 2-5 Players and 60 Passengers

Ticket to Ride: Germany turns a familiar route-building formula toward the German Empire. The standalone board game supports 2-5 players, ages 8 and up, and 30-60 minute games.

Germany Gets Passenger Rules

Players connect cities shown on Destination Tickets by collecting matching Train Car Cards and claiming railway routes. Passenger Meeples add a second scoring layer to the map, giving completed connections another reason to reach major cities.

The box includes 225 Colored Train Cars, 110 Train Car Cards, 89 Destination Ticket Cards, 60 Passenger Meeples, 5 Scoring Markers, and 1 Rules Booklet. It also contains one Germany board map, one Bonus Card, and one Cloth Bag.

Standalone Box With Familiar Core

Ticket to Ride: Germany uses the series foundation of card collection, route claiming, and network building, but the passenger pieces change how players value connected cities. The official description places the action around destinations including Nuremberg, Munich, and Berlin.

The game does not require the original Ticket to Ride. That separates it from map expansions and makes the box a complete entry point for players who want the Germany setting without another base game.

Its US suggested retail price was $50.00 when the English-language edition was announced in 2017. A US price comparison listed offers from $43.99 to $65.99 on 09/20/2026, while the Asmodee USA store listed $65.99 for the game.

Best Fit for Route Builders

Compared with the original Ticket to Ride, Germany keeps the same player range and 30-60 minute time window while adding 60 passengers and a Germany map. The extra pieces add a collection objective beyond completing Destination Tickets.

The result fits families and experienced players who want a self-contained train game with more scoring decisions than the basic route system alone. The two-player minimum supports smaller groups, while the five-player maximum keeps the table at the standard series scale.

Position in the Series

Ticket to Ride: Germany is a standalone 2017 release from Days of Wonder, published within the Ticket to Ride universe. Its strongest distinction is the combination of a Germany map, passenger collection, and a complete box that does not depend on another edition.
