80 Days (2022)

About this game

After hearing about the crazy bet made by Mr. Phileas Fogg who travelled the world in just 80 days, you decide to go for an even harder challenge. You get started right away to do better. You will take an exciting trip around the world and fill your travel diary with experiences so that you can show everyone who the toughest traveller is. Grab your luggage, some money and off you go! On your turn, take one action. The costs of these actions increase gradually. The more often players choose an action, the more expensive it becomes. After each period, everything is reset again. You can either move forward, buy an item or do a special action. Additionally, you can write a page in your travel diary, which provide you with necessary victory points. After 5 periods the game ends and by then you'd better be back in London.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 4.
• Rules load. At 2.1/5 this is a mid-weight game — expect a proper rules explanation before you start.
• Age. The publisher suggests 10 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
