About the game

What you do in a play session

Pack your backpack and your fly swatter, because in Trek 12: Amazonia you'll be exploring the world's most famous jungle! This roll-and-write game puts you in the shoes of an adventurer charting the Amazon, mapping unknown areas, tracing trails, and observing the vibrant flora and fauna. Each round, everyone plays simultaneously, rolling dice and using the results to form 'trials' (chains of consecutive numbers) and 'zones' (areas with the same number) on their sheets. The more you complete, the more points you earn! But beware, the jungle has its dangers, and bad encounters can hinder your score. For those who enjoy a quick game with a strategic twist and an engaging theme, Trek 12 is a great choice. It evolves over time, introducing new challenges and content, keeping the experience fresh. And the best part: it works for a solo player, enjoying the adventure with the legendary adventurer Max, or for up to 50 friends, ensuring fun for large groups without much downtime. It's a journey through the Amazon that fits in the palm of your hand, perfect for those seeking a quick adventure full of discoveries.
