However, even though Janelle did not finish a game, she clearly liked it enough to pick up a copy from Freddy's after work. We played the game after dinner, and I have to admit that, not only was it different enough to be worth the purchase, but I think I like it better than the original. The addition of ferries and tunnels makes for a more strategic use of cards, while the limits on long routes and the inclusion of stations make completing routes on the tickets much more feasible and not nearly as frustrating. The city names take some getting used to, but they do seem to be more geographically accurate than some of the American locations on the first game.
I would still recommend the original (with the larger cards from the 1910 edition) for people new to the series, but the Europe version is certainly worth playing.
