Players plan a ten-day journey through Asia by placing country and transportation tiles on a tray. The goal is to create a continuous travel route connecting all ten days using trains, planes, ships, and foot travel. Railroads allow linking countries along a line, while airlines connect countries of the same color. Players draw or pick from face-up tiles to build their route without rearranging placed tiles, competing to complete their journey first.
Who Is This Game For?
This game suits families and casual players aged 10 and up. With a short playtime of about 25 minutes, it fits quick gaming sessions. The rules are straightforward, requiring little prior experience. It appeals to those who enjoy light tactical planning combined with a travel theme.
How It Works
Each player arranges travel and transport tiles on a ten-day tray. Using Connections and Hand Management, players select tiles from face-up or random draws and place them to form a continuous route. Neighboring countries must be connected by appropriate transport modes like railroads, airlines, or ocean liners. Tiles cannot be rearranged once placed, so careful planning is needed to complete the chain.
