This expansion offers two setups on the largest continent: Team Asia allows four to six players to compete in two-player teams sharing cards and tickets. Legendary Asia introduces mountain routes where players place trains in a special Mountain Crossing area, scoring points but losing those trains for the rest of the game. A bonus is awarded for connecting the most cities in a single network. These variants add new tactical layers to the classic gameplay.
