About the game
What you do in a play session
The game blends the challenge of managing a personal bucket list with the need to coordinate routes with the person sitting next to you. These shared travel buddy goals add a layer of interaction: you need to meet up in the same place at the same time to score. It's a constant exercise in route optimization and luck, where every line drawn on the globe counts. Plus, there's a frantic race for global objectives, rewarding those who are most efficient at hitting their milestones before everyone else. With a light weight, it's the kind of game that flows quickly but still demands a sharp eye so you don't miss any opportunities. If you enjoy games that combine spatial strategy with a light theme and tactile components that are satisfying to handle, Globetrotting is a perfect addition to your next game night.
