Description
Trekking the World 2nd Edition is a light strategy game where you race to the world’s most fascinating places, draft itineraries, collect souvenirs, and gain powers that combo.
The 2nd edition is a complete mechanical overhaul based on analysis of thousands of online comments about 1st Edition, and our evolving design principles.
We’ve tried to create a game hobbyists AND their families will like. A tough design challenge.
Who It’s For:
- Hobbyists who want to entice non-gamer friends and family into playing
- Hobbyists who like rules-light games with some hidden strategy
- Folks getting into the hobby for the first time
- Folks looking for a gift (it feels premium)
- Folks who want to turn their 10-and-up kids onto strategy games
- Folks who want to learn about cool places in the world, or want their kids to
Who It’s Not For:
- Folks who adore 1st Edition (why risk regression to the mean?)
- Folks for whom the blocking in 1st Edition is essential - we replaced it with other interactions (but it's easy to house-rule it back in).
- Hobbyists who dislike rules-simple games regardless of strategic qualities
