Weltreise (1930)

Overview

Translation/paraphrase from the back of the box:

"Weltreise: Play & discover the world!

The suitcases are packed. The airplane is ready. Travel to the most beautiful places in the world. If you fly from Paris to New York, will there be time to get to Miami - or would it be better to go from Chicago to Tokyo...? Whichever you choose, it will be a grand voyage of tactics, fun, and plenty of luck. 173 destinations await your arrival! Each game provides a new & exciting world to discover with lots to see and learn."

This is a game about a travel around the world (it is not similar to Around the World in 80 Days). The map is the world with a lot of cities shown. The cities correspond to cards. Each player receives cards, in the basic game a card from each continent. The first card given is the starting city of the player, the other are the cities he must visit on his journey but in order of his liking. The game is then dice throwing to travel your route as fast as possible. There are different forms of transportation on the map and you can only use one form at a throw.

The game has also a set of card representing "cables" which can be used for variation. These are presented to the player who throws a six for the third time and he then has to do immediately whatever the cable says.

Ages 10 and up.
