Ticket to Ride Netherlands

 
In this beautiful new map Ticket to Ride designer Alan R Moon has created an ingeneious new twist. Nearly all routes are double track bridge crossings. When a player grabs the first route between cities, he pays a price in bridge toll tokens directly to the bank; but when the second route is claimed the tokens go to the player who claimed the first route! Players score bonus points based on the total value of bridge toll tokens they still own at games end.
