In this unofficial variant, the European rules are used. TTR Europe has long routes and short routes, and you pick 1 long and 3 short to start, the remaining long being put aside for the game. To reproduce this all cards with a point value of 16 or higher, 13 in all, were separated to create the long route set. This variant also used the Globetrotter card for most tickets collected, as opposed to the longest continuous route(although I think I got that too).

And black triumphs yet again.
