## Description
Hey everyone! Ready to travel the world without leaving your table? In Cardline: Globetrotter, the goal is simple: get rid of your country cards as quickly as possible by arranging them in an ascending (or descending, depending on the chosen characteristic) line based on a specific data point. Each country card features information about its size, population, GDP, and CO₂ emissions, but only one side reveals these secrets. Before starting the game, players decide which of these four characteristics will be the criterion for the round. At the beginning, each player receives several cards and places them face down in front of them, keeping the data secret. An initial card is revealed in the center of the table to kick things off. On your turn, you choose a card from your hand and try to fit it into the existing line of countries. It can be between two cards, at the beginning, or at the end of the row. After positioning it, you flip the card to reveal the data. Did you get the order right? The card stays there, solid and sound! Wrong? It's removed from play, and you draw another card from the deck, increasing your hand. The first player to get rid of all their cards by placing them correctly wins. If there's a tie, the excitement continues: tied players receive one more card, and the dispute goes on until only one champion remains. It's a super fun way to test your geography and statistics knowledge, or to learn a lot of new things while playing!
