Boomerang: USA

Boomerang: USA is a compact draft-and-write journey across the continental United States. Over four rounds, players simultaneously draft seven destination cards and mark each visited location on a personal map. The first and last cards form a throw-and-catch pair that can score a large difference, but saving a tempting card for later may improve several other categories. Connecting east and west earns a race bonus, completing one of seven regions rewards efficient routing, and sets of Americana, activities, and wildlife create overlapping scoring goals. Everyone chooses from a shrinking hand at the same time, so the game moves quickly while revealing just enough information to make every pass meaningful. It stands alone from the other Boomerang maps and fits a full family drafting game into a small travel-friendly box.
