<p>Stations are specific to Europe and could potentially break (or perhaps make) games on other continents. Since Asia and other expansion maps can be played with both US and Europe base sets, the largest common denominator would be to not use stations in expansions. </p>

<p>I have not tried using stations for Asia or India, perhaps it could be worth a test run, but I can see discussions coming up on combinations with Mandalas for India. Asia is more traditional in style (read: more like US) and tension remains mostly because of possible blockage by other players.</p>

<p>In <strong>Ticket To Ride US Edition</strong> there was no stations, but in <strong>Europe Edition</strong> there were.  </p>

<p>When playing <strong>Asia Edition</strong>, do you play with/without stations or is there no set rule about them?  </p>

<p>I couldn't spot it in  the rules so I decided to go without stations, but I just wanted to check if there was a consensus on this.</p>

# Is Ticket To Ride Asia played with stations?

(Asked by: username_0 on 2014-10-01)

In **Ticket To Ride US Edition** there was no stations, but in **Europe Edition** there were.

When playing **Asia Edition**, do you play with/without stations or is there no set rule about them?

I couldn't spot it in the rules so I decided to go without stations, but I just wanted to check if there was a consensus on this.

Stations are specific to Europe and could potentially break (or perhaps make) games on other continents. Since Asia and other expansion maps can be played with both US and Europe base sets, the largest common denominator would be to not use stations in expansions.

I have not tried using stations for Asia or India, perhaps it could be worth a test run, but I can see discussions coming up on combinations with Mandalas for India. Asia is more traditional in style (read: more like US) and tension remains mostly because of possible blockage by other players.

I use the stations when I play Ticket to ride Asia. I think it is working good.

According to the rules I don't think you should use them, but I am not sure. I use them and I think it works good.
