Product Information

And of course, it’s a fantastic way to let our minds wander to lands we want to travel to once we’re able to travel again.

Journey: This action allows players to activate one of the Journey cards on the board. The player must play 2 cards from their hand with matching icons (colors) and then do the actions listed on the Journey card. The actions may include things such as moving X number of extra spaces, moving to any airport, drawing X cards, paying less cards to Take a Tour, or gaining victory points. The Journey cards can provide some helpful actions. Visit places shown on Destination cards and then “Take a Tour” to experience their wonder and history.

Then there are the Destinations themselves. The row of Destination cards clearly show which types of cards are needed to claim them. And players can pay attention to which Trek cards their opponents are grabbing along the way — giving them an idea of which Destination they’re vying for. So players will need to make choices as to which Destinations are in their best interest to compete for and which are better left alone.

Once five region bonuses have been taken from the board or one player has toured 5 locations, the game ends immediately, and scores are tallied. The highest score wins. Journey Cards provide additional actions you can take on your turn. Game Experience: Depending on your outlook, this could be the best-timed release or the worst-timed release, seeing as world travel is currently restricted due to a global pandemic. To me, it’s a pleasant reminder of what was and, hopefully, will be again soon. Trekking the World is a 2-5 player game that takes about 1 hour to play. The gameplay is centered around route planning and set collection. Gameplay Overview:

While the rules are very simple to understand and remember, the game also involves interesting choices along the way. From a presentation standpoint, Trekking the World is every bit as charming as National Parks. Instead of using photographs for the Destination cards, here the artwork is gorgeously illustrated, an impressionist swirl of high-saturation hues. Each card has several paragraphs of information on the real-life locations, perfect for school-age children. While wooden cubes replace the previous game’s colored stones, the fantastic leathery bag that holds them feels just as nice as before.
