About the game
Grab your sunscreen and pack your bags, because the 10 Days in series is ready to take you on a quick adventure across the Americas! In 10 Days in the Americas, the goal is simple yet tricky: you need to build a cohesive ten-day travel itinerary. How will you traverse the continent? You can go by foot, connecting adjacent countries; by plane, hopping between destinations of the same color; or by ship, sailing through the oceans surrounding the American lands.

The gameplay is incredibly fast-paced. Each player has a holder for ten tiles, representing the days of the trip. On your turn, you choose to either draw a new tile from the deck or pick one from the face-up discard pile. The catch? Once a tile is placed, it stays there! This means you must plan carefully whether that transportation piece or specific destination will actually help you complete your circuit. One wrong move, and you might end up with a broken, disconnected route.

It is a game of quick thinking and controlled luck. You'll constantly be watching what your opponents are picking to avoid making their paths too easy, while trying to construct your own perfect route. With playtimes around 20 to 30 minutes, it's the perfect filler between heavy games or a quick family challenge. If you enjoy fast card games that are easy to learn but require strategic foresight to avoid getting stuck, this is the one for you!
