Days of Wonder Announces Ticket to Ride: Amsterdam

Can’t really go traveling around right now. But even if I could, I doubt I’d be able to make it out to someplace like Amsterdam, as much as I’d like to someday go. Well, I can still live vicariously through games. And soon, I’ll be able to visit that historic city in Ticket to Ride: Amsterdam, a new stand-alone set coming from Days of Wonder.

From the announcement:

Welcome to the 17th Century. You are in the middle of the Gouden Eeuw , the Dutch Golden Age. Amsterdam is the beating heart of global trade and the wealthiest city on Earth. Goods from around the world are piling up on the docks, in ship holds, in warehouses, and on the banks of its countless canals.
