Read the full game description
Around the World in 80 Days turns Jules Verne’s famous wager into a streamlined hand-management race. Play travel cards to move from city to city, spend carefully to accelerate the journey, and manage the rumor cards that represent suspicion following Phileas Fogg. Reaching London first is not enough: a traveler who returns with too much money spent or unresolved rumors can still lose the bet. Special events and varied routes keep the race interactive without obscuring its approachable family-game core.
