"Ticket to Ride: USA 1910" Announced

Days of Wonder has announced a new expansion to their popular (and fantastic) board game Ticket to Ride [Funagain]. Ticket to Ride: USA 1910 supplements and extends the original Ticket to Ride board game by: replacing the game's old deck with new large-format cards, expanding the destination tickets by an additional 35 cards, and adding two new ways to play the game.

The Company Line: USA 1910 consists of 181 new large format cards (the same size as the cards in Ticket to Ride Europe and Märklin) including 35 new "Destination Tickets," a new "GlobeTrotter" bonus card for completing the most tickets, plus a complete replacement deck for all the cards from the original game deck.
The USA 1910 Expansion, which comes in a small metal box, also includes a new rulebook that gives players three new ways to play the game including 1910 rules. Players can choose to use only the new "Destination Tickets," or play a "Mega Game" featuring all the tickets, or just a "Big Cities" version, which uses only tickets to certain large cities.

Ticket to Ride: USA 1910 is set to ship in October '06, and is already available to preorder from FunagainGames.
