About the game

What you do in a play session

Pack your bags and check your watch, because the 19th century is about to get a lot more hectic! Forget Phileas Fogg's calm pace; here, the goal is to break his record and, while you're at it, leave your opponents in the dust. In 'Around the World in 80 Days: The Great Race!', you step into the shoes of a daring explorer who doesn't just want to complete the global circuit, but wants to be the very first to cross the finish line.

The gameplay is a delightful blend of route planning and resource management. To avoid being stuck waiting for the next ship, you'll need to build up your fame. The more famous you become, the more assistance and advantages you'll unlock during your journey. But being popular isn't enough—you have to be efficient! The transport card market is your best friend here: you'll be purchasing cards to upgrade your personal board, creating movement combos that will let you leap from one continent to another with enviable agility.

This game demands forward thinking. Which route is the shortest? Which transport gives me more movement points? How can I optimize my time to avoid missing the deadline? Every decision matters in turning your plan into a brilliant execution. If you enjoy games where combo optimization and racing against the clock are the main course, get ready for an epic adventure that will make you feel the true spirit of Victorian-era exploration. It's strategy, it's speed, and above all, it's a frantic scramble to see who is the true master of travelers!
