The objective is to be the first to visit the three territories on the board (Americas; Europe / Africa; Asia / Oceania), collecting 2 stamp cards from each of them in their passport. Preparation (Setup) To begin your adventure in Geomundo, follow these steps: Each player or team chooses a passport and keeps it. There are 4 passports in distinct colors. Shuffle the stamp cards (the 75 with questions and answers and the 15 unforeseen event cards) and make a pile with the photos facing up. The youngest player starts the game, and rounds proceed clockwise. Game Flow The game progresses in turns, with each player having the opportunity to perform an action. The youngest player starts, and the game proceeds clockwise. In each round, regardless of how stamp cards are earned, the player must always pass their turn to the next player, even if they answer correctly. Actions and How to Play There are 3 distinct ways to earn stamp cards: 1. Immigration Interview This is the moment to test your knowledge and demonstrate it to immigration officers. The Immigration Interview consists of 2 challenges: Challenge 1: Travel Destination On your turn, ask the player to your right to draw the top card from the deck and show its image. Try to guess in which territory the photo was taken. The options are: Americas (North, Central, and South), Europe / Africa, or Asia / Oceania. The answer is on the back of the stamp card. If you guess correctly, you earn the right to proceed to Challenge 2. If you guess incorrectly, you must place the stamp card at the bottom of the board, in the space corresponding to the territory it belongs to, and pass your turn to the next player. This challenge can be adapted according to the players' experience level: GeoJunior: answer which territory the photo was taken in. GeoAdvance: answer which territory and country the photo was taken in. GeoMaster: answer which territory, country, and the name of the place (city, museum, monument, etc.) shown in the photo. Challenge 2: Knowledge Test! Roll the die to determine the category of the question you will answer. The 6th face of the die, "GeoMundo," allows you to choose the question category. The player holding the card must read the question corresponding to the rolled category. If you answer correctly, you earn the stamp card. Take the card and insert it into your passport in the space corresponding to the visited territory. The game proceeds normally. If you answer incorrectly, you must place the stamp card at the bottom of the board, in the space corresponding to the territory it belongs to, and pass your turn to the next player. 2. Unforeseen Event There are 15 stamp cards named "Unforeseen Event." In this case, you find yourself in a situation of luck or misfortune. You do not need to guess where the photo was taken. Flip the card and follow the instructions written on it. Whenever a player draws a stamp card from a region they have already completed (i.e., they already have 2 cards from that territory in their passport), the player or team must place it at the bottom of the board, in the space corresponding to the territory it belongs to, and pass their turn to the next player. 3. Express Travel As the game progresses, when errors occur, the bottom part of the board's map will be filled with stamp cards in each of the three territories. According to your game strategy, you can choose to earn these stamp cards by making exchanges whenever, on your turn, there are on the board: a) At least 1 stamp card in each of the three territories: You have the right to choose any one of the three stamp cards from the board, place it in your passport, discard the other two unwanted cards to the bottom of the deck, and pass your turn to the next player. b) 3 stamp cards in the same territory: You have the right to choose any one of the stamp cards from the same territory, place it in your passport, discard the other two unwanted cards to the bottom of the deck, and pass your turn to the next player. End of Game and Scoring The game ends when a player becomes the Winner. The first player to complete their passport with two stamp cards in each of the three territories will be the grand winner. Tips for Winning The world map on the board provides important clues for answering various game questions. We recommend familiarizing yourself with it to increase your chances of being the grand winner. Due to Russia and Turkey being part of two continents, the stamp cards from these countries are valid in both territories: Europe/Africa and Asia/Oceania. The player who earns one of these cards can choose the territory to be stamped in their passport, according to their strategy. ## FAQ ### How many players can join? 2 to 4 players. ### What is the typical play time?
