The Board Game Family

The Board Game Family

We’d love to be Trekking the World!

Trekking the World board game

I think we all wish we could be out traveling the world right now.

Traveling is the thing I’ve missed the most in 2020.

We’ve had to cancel two big vacations we’d been looking forward to for a long time. One of those would have been this week. We’re totally bummed that we couldn’t be seeing new sights in Asia right now.

But all hope isn’t lost. We just bump it out for some future, currently unknown, date. We know we’ll get their one day.

And in the meantime, we can jet all around the world in our imagination while we play Trekking the World !

Trekking the World is the latest board game published by Underdog Games . It delivers a lot of the familiar game play from Trekking the National Parks while adding a few new elements we really enjoy.

Trekking the World board game

How to play Trekking the World

Trekking the World is an easy to learn family board game where players traverse the continents, visit popular destinations, and collect souvenirs in a race to score the most points.

To begin, souvenir cubes are randomly drawn from a bag and placed on the location spaces around the board. Region bonus tokens are also randomly placed face-down on their spaces next to each region. The Destination cards are shuffled and 4 are placed face-up next to the board and the 3-point and 5-point tokens are placed next to the farthest right Destination cards.

Trekking the World board game

Then two Journey cards are drawn and placed in the Journey Log space on the board. They can be selected on purpose or randomly drawn. These two Journey cards will be active the whole game. The rest will be placed back in the game box.

Each player chooses a Trekker and places them on one of the airport locations to begin. They also get a Suitcase sheet that matches their Trekker’s color. Lastly, the Trek cards are shuffled and each player is dealt 3 cards to form their starting hand. The rest of the Trek cards are placed next to the board in a draw pile and 4 are placed face-up.

Then players are ready to start traveling!

Trekking the World board game

On a player’s turn, they will get to Move and take an Action.

If a player begins their turn on an Airport location, they may first choose to Fly to another airport as a special pre-turn action.

If able, a player must move their Trekker to another location every turn.

They do so by discarding cards from their hand. They may play 1 or more cards when moving. The combined value of the numbers on the cards is the exact amount of spaces they will move.

When moving, they can’t move through other Trekkers.

If there is a Souvenir cube on the location they finish on, they take the cube and add it to their Suitcase (in the left-most space for that color). If after placing the cube in their suitcase, they have at least 2 of that color and have more of that color than any other player, they claim the Most Souvenir tile for that souvenir.

If the player collects the last Souvenir cube in a Region, they also claim that Region’s Bonus token. They can look at it and keep it face-down next to their suitcase (for scoring at the end of the game).

Trekking the World board game

Once they have moved, the player must choose one of the following actions

1. Draw Two Trek Cards: They may take Trek cards that are face-up (immediately replaced) or draw from the top of the Trek deck.

2. Take a Tour: If the player’s Trekker is at a location that matches one of the face-up Destination cards, they may discard cards matching the symbols/colors of that Destination card to claim it. If the Destination card is one of the two farthest to the right, it’s a Must-See destination and the player also claims a Victory Point token (3 point or 5 point) adjacent to that Destination card.

The Destination cards then all shift to the right and a new Destination card is revealed.

Trekking the World board game

3. Journey: This action allows players to activate one of the Journey cards on the board. The player must play 2 cards from their hand with matching icons (colors) and then do the actions listed on the Journey card. The actions may include things such as moving X number of extra spaces, moving to any airport, drawing X cards, paying less cards to Take a Tour, or gaining victory points.

Trekking the World board game

Once a player has taken their action, the player to the left takes their turn.

Players continue taking turns until one of the game end conditions occurs:

  • 5 of the 6 Region Bonus tokens are claimed.
  • A player Tours their 5th Destination.

The player who triggered the end of the game finishes their turn and the game ends.

Players total up their points from Destinations Toured, Region Bonus tokens, Victory Point tokens, Most Souvenir tiles, and sets of Souvenirs (completed columns of souvenir cubes in their suitcase). The player with the most points is the winner!

Trekking the World board game

Can the whole family enjoy Trekking the World?

Just like its predecessor, Trekking the World is a great family board game. And that’s exactly why we included both games in our 2020 Board Game Gift Guide.

It reminds us a lot of the ever-popular Ticket to Ride games where players collected colored cards and then turn them in as set to claim train routes. Only in Trekking the World, players get to do more with the cards they collect. They get to use them for both traveling and claiming Destination cards (Taking a Tour)!

When playing family board games, you might have some impatient players. Those players that don’t like waiting around for their turn. The great news about Trekking the World is that because player turns consist of just moving and then completing one action, turns go very quickly. So there isn’t much downtime between turns.

That also makes the overall game flow very quickly.

Trekking the World board game

While the rules are very simple to understand and remember, the game also involves interesting choices along the way.

And we love the balance between luck and strategy.

The luck comes into play first during set up when the colored cubes are distributed to the various locations on the board. The same applies to the random point values of the different Regions. Whereas the colored cubes are known upfront, the point values of the Region bonuses aren’t known until a player gets one. And then it’s only known to that person until the end of the game when totally scores and everyone gets to see it.

And of course, there’s the luck of the card draws and which Trek cards come up. Some players will simply get a lucky swipe of those cards.

But there are also a number of strategic elements to the game.

Trekking the World board game

Since the Souvenir cubes are open information, players can make strategic moves to snag cubes of certain colors to get a particular Souvenir bonus tile as well as for completing sets of Souvenirs. Players can also make strategically timed moves to grab the last cube in a Region to walk away with the Bonus token.

Then there are the Destinations themselves. The row of Destination cards clearly show which types of cards are needed to claim them. And players can pay attention to which Trek cards their opponents are grabbing along the way — giving them an idea of which Destination they’re vying for. So players will need to make choices as to which Destinations are in their best interest to compete for and which are better left alone.

Since the last 2 Destinations in the row also grant extra Victory Point tokens when claimed, players will also want to keep an eye on those cards in particular. Or they can try to time it so that a Destination card that comes up later will make its way to those end spots at the right time for them to grab on their turn.

Lastly, players also have the option of using the Journey abilities at the right time as well. Since those change from game to game, they give Trekking the World great replay value. The general flow won’t change, but a player’s strategy can shift to take advantage of those cards along the way.

Trekking the World board game

Beyond the balance of luck and strategy, the game is a lot of fun to look at!

The components are fantastic and we love the artwork.

The Trekker player pieces are fun to move around the board and the cards are very durable. Plus, each Destination card has a description of the location on the back that’s a nice added touch. If players aren’t planning their next move while waiting for their turn, they can enjoy learning about new locations by reading the Destination cards they’ve claimed.

Trekking the World board game

We’ve also found the game plays well at all player counts. So whether it’s just two of us going head-to-head or a full 5-player game with a crowded board, the game is just as fun.

In 2-player games, players can be further spread out on the board — which can make claiming Region bonuses a little easier. After all, if the other player isn’t on the same continent as you, you can walk away with a lot of cubes. Of course, they can be doing the same in their Region. But you can also judge better at which Destinations they may be able to claim before you.

Whereas, in 5-player games, there’s more opportunity to sweep things out from under other players just before they do — or have that happen to you. So it will definitely feel like a race to grab things while you can.

Overall, Trekking the World is a game the whole family can enjoy playing together.

Trekking the World board game

How does Trekking the World score on our “Let’s Play Again” game meter?

Trekking the National Parks board game

Every game plays out differently because of how the Souvenir cubes get disbursed and which Journey cards are in play.

And of course, it’s a fantastic way to let our minds wander to lands we want to travel to once we’re able to travel again.

Big thumbs up for Trekking the World !

We’d like to thank Underdog Games for a review copy of Trekking the World .

Jan – Yes, board game retailers do carry it. I don’t believe it’s in stores like Walmart though. You’ll have to go to a board game store.

1941: Race to Moscow – the largest military campaign in history on the tabletop

trekking the world the world travel family board game

“Logistics is the ball and chain of armored warfare”, said Heinz Guderian, German WWII general and tank commander. 1941: Race to Moscow is a game of logistical resourcefulness as well as relentless competitiveness, designed by Waldemar Gumienny, published by PHALANX. The English edition is distributed by Ares Games in US and other countries outside Europe, and will hit the stores starting from June 1st. Players assume the roles of quartermasters bound to enable their armies to advance eastward and reach their destination points before armies of their opponents do.

1941: Race to Moscow is a prequel to 1944: Race to the Rhine board game, based on the historical events of the ‘44 Western Front campaign. Published in 2014 by PHALANX Games, the game was nominated for Golden Geek Awards in the Best War-game category that year and got the third place in the Wargame category of Tric Trac d’Or 2015.

trekking the world the world travel family board game

Race to Moscow: a historical simulation game.

Focused on the ‘41 Eastern Front campaign, with the world's strongest army to beat and a difficult logistical puzzle to solve, 1941: Race to Moscow brings the system to a completely new level. With much deeper and more demanding gameplay, as the Eastern Front logistics was a nightmare of horse wagon, truck, and train composed supply lines. What is more, the powerful enemy armies are just across the border, getting ready to launch a counter attack.

“Operation Barbarossa”, code-name for the German invasion of the Soviet Union, began the largest and most costly campaign in military history, in June 1941, and its failure was a key turning point of the Second World War. Logistics were the key to its failure or success, and this take on the subject has been quite recently made accessible to the wider public in the book “Operation Barbarossa and Germany's Defeat in the East”, by David Stahel. This was the inspiration to PHALANX when looking for a successor of 1944: Race to the Rhine.

In 1941: Race to Moscow , the whole Operation Barbarossa is playable in 90 minutes, with an entirely unique game perspective and experience drawing from 1944: Race to the Rhine, but much deeper. Players take the role of quartermasters of three massive Army Groups, formed together from close to 200 divisions, all aimed at the centers of the Soviet Union - Moscow, Leningrad, and Rostov. The campaign itself was planned to be swift and daring, with a goal to reach the objectives before winter. But after the final push - Operation Typhoon - the invading troops reached the vicinity of Moscow and looked through binoculars at the Kremlin spires on one frosty December morning. And then, the Soviet counteroffensive began.

trekking the world the world travel family board game

A close view of the game board.

The players’ job is to keep the logistics chain working, to make sure the speed of the Blitz-krieg is kept at the highest level and the goals are reached in time. That means they must supply fuel to the tanks, ammo to the guns, food to the troops, and fodder to the horses - yes, most of the German divisions used horse-drawn wagons.

Experience difficult tactical decisions and take part in the most challenging race of logistics. Do not linger any more: equip your troops wisely, pave ways for the most efficient supply chains, and prevent your armies from running on empty. Have a blitz on Moscow and have a blast playing the hottest game of logistics ever.

Description.

You lie in a cot, tossing and turning, trying to doze off after a 36-hour shift of a non-stop hustle and bustle. Orchestrating the deployment of trains with 450 barrels of tank fuel to Proskurov as well as supervising the dispatch of two truck convoys to Odessa, loaded with ammo crates and food supplies, have taken a toll on your appearance. Your haggard, eye-bagged face has acquired yet another trait – a streak of gray hair on your left temple. And the news from Army Group Center, boasting that their tank divisions are already halfway there! Their quartermaster simply cannot be that good! You’re pondering whether it would be right to take a leave of absence is interrupted by a private carrying a message from headquarters – your request for the additional supply of ammunition has been rejected. You dismiss the private with an angry snarl. What are you supposed to resupply the 6th and 17th army with now? Wheat and onions instead of bullets and grenades? You have to figure something out really soon – your comrades rely on your ingenuity. Your failure means their race to Moscow is over.

A prequel to 1944: Race to the Rhine – a 2014 Golden Geek Best Wargame Nominee – 1941: Race to Moscow is a game of logistical resourcefulness as well as relentless competitiveness. You assume roles of quartermasters bound to enable your armies to advance eastward and reach their destination points before armies of your opponents do. The road to Moscow is not paved with roses, though. Mud – a sticky hell which brings your tank charge to a halt, enemy forces whose defeat will cost you not only the last bullet left in your clip but also the last droplet of fuel left in your gas tank, tactical dilemmas and meticulous calculations of how to reroute the completely stuck railroads – all of this and much more awaits you on the plains and steppes of western Russia. Not to mention the unmistakable feeling of your nails bitten to the quick when your troops are just a hop, skip, and a jump from their destination and all of a sudden they run out of ammo…

Experience tough tactical decisions and take part in the most challenging race of logistics. Do not linger any more: equip your troops wisely, pave ways for the most efficient supply chains, and prevent your armies from running on empty. Have a blitz on Moscow and have a blast by the hottest game of logistics ever!

  • Publisher Overview

The year is 2033. The world is in ruins. All the major cities have been wiped away by a nuclear war. Flooded with radiation, the planet surface is largely unfit for life. Handfuls of survivors have found refuge in antinuclear bunkers, the largest of which is the Moscow Metro. The Metro has become humanity’s last haven after Judgment Day.

Metro 2033 is based on the popular Metro 2033 universe created by Russian writer and journalist Dmitry Glukhovsky. After the nuclear strike, thousands of survivors have found refuge in the Moscow underground (a.k.a., the Metro) — the biggest shelter in the world. In the stations and tunnels deep below the surface a new civilization emerges.

Each player is a leader of one of the many factions of post-nuclear underground. In order to win, a faction has to achieve ten victory points (VPs). Each station under the faction's control gives it 1 VP; different quests also bring VPs when completed. The other way to win is to capture all four stations of Polis — the cultural and political heart of Metro. Each faction has a hero at its disposal. Heroes can travel the underground, gain quests and equipment that increases their abilities, fight opponents' heroes, attack stations, and so on. The army of a faction can also attack stations, and usually with better chances to win, but it can target only adjacent stations. Stations under factions' control produce resources — pigs, ammo and mushrooms — that are used to capture new stations, strenghten the army, buy equipment and obtain quests. The production of resources and other game events are determined by a special sequence. This sequence tells what will happen each round: production of certain recources, a vote for a new law, or a sudden attack from the dark that must be repelled.

Customer Reviews

Once we all understood how to read the cards, we had a wonderful time playing a couple of rounds after dinner. The trivia is fun and relevant.

A great way to socialize and learn some trivia at the same time.

It is a Christmas gift.

My kids and I love trivia but my husband usually doesn’t. He loves this game.
