Heart of Africa introduces a map focused on route efficiency and terrain based strategy. Players are encouraged to build concentrated networks and maximise bonuses through thoughtful placement and careful expansion.

Unlike traditional Ticket To Ride maps, success often depends on optimising routes rather than simply expanding as widely as possible, creating a more tactical and rewarding experience.
