About the game

What you do in a play session

Ever thought about backpacking across Europe without leaving your dining table? In Travelin', you take on the role of a traveler crossing the continent using a strategic mix of trains, planes, and buses. It is a classic 'easy to learn, hard to master' game, making it a perfect gateway for newcomers while still offering meaningful choices for seasoned gamers. The goal is straightforward: be the first to visit five countries and rack up the most points. The gameplay is turn-based, where you manage your hand, perform actions, and discard cards you do not need. The fun lies in the constant tension between rushing the game by visiting quick countries to trigger the end, or focusing on a longer, more lucrative strategy by targeting high-point destinations like Iceland or Cyprus. Do not expect a smooth ride, though. Just like any real-life trip, you will have to deal with unexpected hurdles caused by your friends. The 'take that' mechanic ensures that whenever someone is about to complete a key route, a card is played to ruin their plans. It is a delicate balance between advancing your own journey and throwing a wrench into your opponents' travel itineraries. With a fast setup and a playtime that never drags, Travelin' is the perfect choice for a casual game night where strategy meets lighthearted sabotage. Grab your passport, organize your cards, and try not to be the last one to reach the final destination!
