What this is
In Ticket to Ride: Märklin, players build railroad routes across Germany to try to connect valuable destinations. These tokens can be collected by the players by placing their Passengers (3 per player), which can be achieved at the end of a turn in which a player lays trains to enter the city in question. A passenger can also move along sections of track featuring other players trains but a passenger card must be paid each time this occurs to do so.
