About the game

What you do in a play session

In Boomerang, you embark on a journey across Australia, trying to see and do as much as possible. The game combines card drafting with paper-and-pencil mechanics, creating a dynamic and strategic experience. Each round, you choose a card from your hand to play and pass the rest to the next player. The decision is yours: take what you need or block other players? At the end of each round, you mark points on your score sheet, accumulating points for visiting landmarks, collecting Australiana, and spotting animals. After five rounds, the player with the most points wins. Boomerang is perfect for those who enjoy quick, strategic games with an engaging theme.
