A new wrinkle on the same game. The European map has the same rules as the USA map, but the differences in geography create a different feel and strategy. There are fewer connections on the European map (70 lines for 39 countries vs 89 lines for 41 states). However, it is easier to get from one side of the map to the other on the Europe side. The max distance between any two countries is 6, vs a max distance of 10 on the USA map. So on Europe, it is easier to zigzag around the whole board, but harder to wiggle around in close quarters. Includes just the 8 double sided boards and Europe cards (no dice, markers, USA cards, or box). The second edition of the base game already contains the Europe expansion.
