What to Expect
You play a travel writer given four weeks in Europe to prove yourself, visiting locations, collecting postcards and completing goals. The game runs four rounds of seven days each; you spend days to travel by plane (money) or train (energy), perform activities like writing, resting or planning, and manage a hand of location cards to execute region-specific actions.
Who Is This Game For?
Suitable for hobby gamers who enjoy planning and card-driven decision making; recommended age is 12+. With an approximate 90-minute playtime it’s an extended, mid-weight experience that benefits from some prior experience. A solo/bot mode is included for single players.
How It Works
You start in one of ten European regions with a hand of location cards and a postcard goal. Across four rounds (seven days each) you spend days for movement or activities: write about locations, rest to gain energy by discarding cards, plan to draw cards, or play region-matching cards to carry out activities. End game bonuses and area-majority/influence elements determine scoring along with fulfilled postcard goals.
What Makes It Special
Designed by Rodrigo Rego and Danilo Valente, Abroad merges hand management and area-majority mechanics inside a travel narrative. The game includes a dedicated solo/solitaire bot and uses end game bonuses to diversify scoring paths.
Pro
- Integrated solo/solitaire mode
- Combination of hand management and area majority
- Clear postcard-based objectives
- End game bonuses increase scoring variety
Contra
- Around 90 minutes can feel long for casual groups
- Mid-weight complexity may challenge newcomers
Setting & atmosphere
The game is set across ten regions in Europe and casts players as travel guide writers collecting postcards, local tips and experiences.
Tips for beginners
Focus first on understanding the four activity options (travel, write, rest, plan) and manage your days and energy before exploring advanced strategies.
