Players grab their passports, place their pawns in a starting position at the Century Club, and then the race is on! Players take turns selecting exciting items to help them on their quest, like the Jet Pack, Zeppelin, or Lightning Gun. Each item determines what missions and actions the players can take on their turn. Once the items are chosen, everyone moves and takes action at exotic locations around the board, collecting stamps and clues as they go. The first player to rescue the prisoner from Atlantis, survive the Mummy's Curse, collect all nine passport stamps, and return to the Century Club wins the game!
