Worldbeater (1975)

About this game

A journey around the world from Frankfurt to New York and back again, financed by various jobs along the way. Some jobs are good, some not so good. Players have to navigate the fastest and highest point scoring route. There are bonus points for reaching New York and Frankfurt early...but being first there and back doesn't mean you'll win.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 3 to 6.
• Rules load. At 1.2/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 12 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
