The digital version of Ticket to Ride has a new map on the board, and another already in the works. Marmalade Game Studio released the Ticket to Ride: Poland Expansion for Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One on 13 May 2026, and used the same announcement to confirm that a Ticket to Ride: Pennsylvania expansion is in development.

Set up your group for freeIf you have only played Ticket to Ride around a table, the appeal is easy to explain. Alan R. Moon's design has you collecting coloured train cards and claiming railway routes between cities, and it is gentle enough to teach in five minutes. That accessibility won it the Spiel des Jahres in 2004 and helped carry it past 18 million copies sold worldwide.
The Poland map does something the cardboard version cannot. The physical Poland expansion uses Country Cards; the digital edition swaps them for Country Coins. Each country on the map carries a stack of coins, and when you build a route that links two countries you pocket coins from every country in between, with the total added to your final score. It quietly rewards players who plan longer routes rather than hopping between neighbours. Poland also adds two new locomotives, two carriages and two playable characters, all styled after 1950s Poland.

Ticket to Ride remains one of the simplest ways to pull a new player into the hobby, whether on a screen or around a table, which makes it as good a pick as any for your next game night.
