About the game

What you do in a play session

Get ready to travel the globe in the classic "Go: The International Travel Game"! Released in 1961, this game invites you to leave London and explore the world's major cities, collecting souvenirs along the way. The goal is to be the fastest to visit the most places, buy mementos, and return home. Transportation is diverse: planes, ships, trains, and even cars are used to get you from point to point on a world map. To get around, you'll purchase tickets at travel agencies or ticket offices, and managing your money is a key aspect! You'll need to exchange currency at banks or bureaus de change, keeping an eye on fluctuations and rates. But beware, international travel comes with its risks: unexpected luck, customs issues, and local regulations can set you back. It's a race against time and the unforeseen, where every route decision and souvenir collected brings you closer to victory. "Go" is a game that evokes the nostalgia of grand voyages and the thrill of exploring the planet, all with accessible mechanics combining dice rolling with movement and collection strategy. Perfect for those who enjoy travel-themed games with a touch of luck.
