I have just bought the game and, so far, played only once. The rules are kinda complicated, but I think I got them. My only doubt is about the last round, when we are completing the destination tickets. It says in the manual that one has to have the majority of destination tickets to a specific big city to score its bonus. As the cards all have two cities, does it mean that it has to go to that city (as in "Chicago - New York"), or just having "New York" in the ticket accounts for the bonus?

Just having "New York" on the card counts.

Sanders is correct, it does NOT have to be the last city mentioned.
I played as you read the rules initially, but it made no sense, and when a friend re-read the rules, he discovered my error.

Re: Scoring Big City Bonuses
Along the right side of the card you see from top to bottom, the cost, one or two diamonds, the two cities, and the points. Those one or two Diamonds tell you how many bonuses the ticket is good for. For example: Los Angeles to Chicago has a white and a yellow diamond, they count towards both bonuses. I hope this helps.

Diamonds? I don't see any on any of the uploaded photos. This Chicago-New York card has diamonds?

Wow! That does suck. Mine cards are different. I assumed they were the same, sorry.

Really? They must have changed the cards massively for a 2nd edition then.

Not much. They added little Diamonds (Like pips) under the costs on the cards to indicate they score for the city bonuses. I haven't a way to show. If someone else has pics?

They also apparently changed the card backs, so they are no longer similar to the purple(?) cards.

Re: Scoring Big City Bonuses
Yeah. I checked out the card back in the gallery. They changed that also. I'll try uploading pics in a day or so.

And here we are. They are a bit different than the older ones.
Now the Diamonds I was talkin' 'bout? It sure makes it easy to teach.
And the new back compared to the Purple Train Card.
