I recognize that the "correct" way to play Team Asia is in teams: it was designed and test to be played in teams. I am just curious though, what special design features makes it better suited for teams as opposed to individuals? What certain things in the game were made for teams that don't work well for single players? Any thoughts?

I'll take a guess that the destination tickets and the map are designed in such a way that team play is natural on them

I hate to be rude, but that is entirely no help...

I guess I am wondering what choices Alan R. Moon made when designing this that made it specifically for teams. I highly doubt he created a board and said, "I think this will work well for teams... let's go with it."

If you hate to be rude, then why include a rude comment.

Your response would have been fine if you just dropped the rude comment.

If you have nothing nice to say...

I suspect it was more an idea that he wanted a version of the game that could be played with teams. The Legendary Asia map was created as part of a contest, if I recall correctly, so he made his own Asia map to accomodate his plan for a team version of the game.

I am just guessing, but I think he created a map that he felt would work best with just 2 or 3 players (which he's done in the past) and added a few triple route spots. Then he just applied his team rules idea to it.

I don't think there is anything exceptional about the "team" idea that required the design of a special map. I just think he had an idea and appied it to this map pack. I don't see why you couldn't use the team idea for other maps if you wanted.
