Trekking The World - The Award-Winning Board Game for Family Night | Explore The Wonders of The World | Perfect for Kids & Adults | Ages 10 and Up

As two adults, we love this game and play it so often ever since buying it. Easy to learn, fun to master. The finish is beautiful and quality. A much recommended, slightly competitive game that takes about 1 hour to play once mastered.

I luckily stumbled across this game when looking for a fun but educational family game. It is exceptional. Yes it takes awhile to get a grips of the game but after playing it for 10 minutes you soon work the game out. We as a family have loved Ticket to Ride for years but I would go as far as saying that this is better. There are more ways to score points and the scoring system itself is easier to navigate. Had the game at Christmas and have played it multiple times already. Every time we get a different winner and the game is never played the same twice. Added bonus is that our kids are learning about geography at the same time. Many of the places featured on the game are new to our kids. Not new any more. They know exactly where to look on the map for the destination. Would give it 6 out of 5 if I could.

It was a present for 11y old boy and really liked

We love to play board games so my husband bought this for our family. I wasn’t too sure about it, but after playing a few times and getting the hang of it, it is a fun game. Even our 7 year old figured it out and he also enjoys playing with us.

Went through how to play instructions online which was worthwhile. There’s quite a bit to learn but after the first game when you’re working things out, it’s all pretty clear and easy. Played with husband and two older teenage kids. Quality is great. Well put together and lovely design work. Great strategic game with lots of opportunity to streak ahead or hinder your opponent! Takes about an hour and a half to play so doesn’t go on for days! Welcome addition to our board games.

Complicated to start with but fun once you understand all the rules

This is quite a complex game but our 8 year old grandson plays it without help even though it’s for 10+. It’s one of those games where you have no idea who has won until the game is finished and scores added up. We love it. Also very educational as the place cards have all the information about the place on the reverse. Can highly recommend it.

This game's theme is brilliant, the production value and art quality is stellar, the box insert is really tidy, and overall it is a joy to behold. Beautiful vibrant colours, wonderful artistic renditions of some of the most gorgeous places on earth. Perfect family theme for nearly all ages. What's not to like?? My family and I really were excited to play this game - but we found ourselves a little underwhelmed. Firstly the setup is fairly time-consuming, needing to populate the board with tons of cubes, lay out cards correctly, and ensure everything is accessible and within reach to players. Secondly the rules are fairly complex and fiddly - learning to play is quite slow, teaching is quite slow, and there are a lot of different systems to the game that need to be grasped in order to develop a winning strategy (or change your strategy if somebody beats you to a spot you wanted). My 8 and 10 year olds are great at games, but found their excitement waning as the game plowed on. Third I would say that while the theme is really, really strong (and is what actually carries the game itself), it doesn't fit particularly cleanly with the actual rules. While the idea of collecting souvenirs, memories, and taking tours is evocative and exciting - the reality of 'trade 3 red and 2 green cards for Mount Fuji' is a bit dry. If I'm already at Mount Fuji, why can't I just take a tour there? Why do I have to wait for a specific combination of colours? What are those cards even supposed to represent? While it is clearly a design decision of the producers _not_ to have a money system in the game (perhaps as a comment that you don't have to have a lot of money to travel, or that trekking the world is not just for the wealthy), it does leave something of a hole in the players decisions. If I have a limited resource (time, travel distance, plane/train tickets?) then the interesting choices become how I will best use what I have. This is fun for kids because they can just say 'I don't really care about winning, I just want to get a BOAT TO THE VOLCANO!' and they find joy in their own volition. This game finds itself restricting you in the choices you can make by the colours of cards you randomly draw. It attempts to mitigate this somewhat by the power cards, but this feels more like a bolted-on extra system to modify/fix a basic tenet which doesn't really hold together particularly strongly. Don't get me wrong, this game is quite fun, and the overall presentation and idea behind it is really really evocative and gorgeous. But the underpinning idea tries to draw from ticket to ride, but because it is a slower and less simple game, it ends up getting a bit stodgy and restrictive. We'll probably give away or trade away our copy - or perhaps I may cannibalize the gorgeous, GORGEOUS board and cards for a rework of the rules...
