Reise um die Erde

explore the world in play

Three planes are placed on Kinshasa, New York und Peking (Beijing) at the start of the game. There are 94 city cards of values 3 to 6, each player is dealt eight cards for his hand, the rest is draw pile. You select your playing marker and put it at the start of the scoring track.

The active player moves any plane - in cockpit direction and never back the same track immediately - into an adjacent city; a city is adjacent when connected to another city with a dotted line. After the plane movement all check their cards - if you hold a card of the city the plane reached, you have visited this city and discard the card. If you hold a card of one of the three starting cities, a plane must move to this city again to enable you to discard the card. If you hold both cards of a city, a plane must reach the city once for each card so that you can discard both. If you have shed all eight cards, the round ends; each player scores the points of all cards that all other players have not shed. After three rounds, you win with most points.

For the version with task cards, eight task cards are laid out for each of the two rounds and marked with a passenger on the top city, the start city. If you move a plane to a start city of a task, you can take the task and meet it by moving the plane into the target city. At the end of each round, you score one point for each card still in the hand of all other players, and two points for each task you completed and win with most points after two rounds.

Standard and approved and still a very good family game with high information content and quite a lot of tactic in the task version.
