## Overview

The Days of Wonder Board Game offers an exhilarating journey through Japan and Italy, combining high-speed train adventures with strategic decision-making. Players must navigate collaborative challenges and personal goals, all while enjoying breathtaking scenery and immersive gameplay.

## Description

Zoom across Japan in a bullet train admiring Mount Fuji through the mist or take the Tokyo subway to your final destination. On this map, you face a dilemma between investing in the Bullet Train network, routes that can be used by all players to complete Destination Tickets, or focusing on your individual tracks. Weigh your options carefully because the players who contribute the most to this shared project will be rewarded with a larger bonus, and players who don’t build any Bullet Trains will suffer the consequences!

Review: Two Games in One - My wife and I have a few of the Ticket to Ride games, and we play it online as well. Very enjoyable games, provided you don't play them in the full cut-throat manner in which they were intended. Feelings can get hurt. Tempers may flare. Drinking may result. I got this Japan version for my wife for Christmas and BONUS! It contained Italy too! (other side of the board). BE AWARE that this is an expansion game, which means you must have one of the base games like the Ticket to Ride US or Europe, because you use the trains and train cards from those games. This set does include the bullet trains required for the Japan game, along with separate destination cards for Japan and Italy, but it DOES NOT include regular trains or train cards (which you can't play without). We enjoy playing both Italy and Japan, but if we're feeling intellectually lazy, we choose Italy over Japan because the latter has you occasionally worm-holing from one place to another, and can make you spend more time up front figuring out how to get from here to there. (For you programmers out there, think of jumping to a subroutine, only without returning). And with Japan, you also have separate markers to keep track of how many bullet trains you each put down, and there's extra scoring in the end based on who went further on that scoring. Last, Japan may leave you struggling a bit more with pronunciations--but you learn something, so stop complaining! In general, I'd recommend this game and rate it as low difficulty getting started (maybe moderate if you haven't played the predecessor base games), and moderate difficulty in getting to understand winning strategies. Addendum: Read the rule book. There are a few gotcha's. For example, when playing Italy, you use all 45 of your color trains, but with Japan, you only use 20 of them. Enjoy!!
Review: Great gift! Great product! - Tons of fun! Especially if you’re into Japan, anime, the culture, etc. Enjoyably, though marginally and imaginatively informative as well. A new family favorite.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great T2R expansion - very replayable
*by S***. on August 29, 2020*

This is one of my favorite Ticket to Ride expansions. Both the Italy and Japan maps have very simple variations, so the overhead of learning new rules is minimal, but the resulting games look very different from original T2R. Japan includes Shinkansen trains, which come from a single collective pile controlled by all players. There are fewer bullet trains than places to play them, which makes for a very interesting dynamic. Players are also scored relatively (1st, 2nd, 3rd, etc.) based on how many Shinkansen trains they have contributed, which incentivizes rapid and competitive use of the bullet trains. Italy includes a special type of ferry and an interesting zone-based scoring component. The map is divided into 18 or so regions and you score points based on the number of regions your train network reaches. You can also score bonus points by visiting every city within certain regions. This makes for a slower-paced game than Japan, but one that is still just as entertaining. Both maps are very fun and highly replayable. A great T2R expansion!
