Jet World (1975)

About this game

Players travel around the Jet World gameboard, going from city to city, to buy various World Traded Articles, some of which are "worthless". The others have a value that can go up or down, according to the number showing on the World Price Board. When a player has two or three matching articles of value, the money paid by the bank, when they are sold or used as a bonus, increases tremendously. The object is to have the most money, at the end, when the value of each player's article cards and cash are added together. Game features exotic locations like London and Berlin, and commodities like diamonds, sports cars, and gold

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 4.
• Rules load. At 1.0/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 8 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
