Great family game
Loved this game, really easy to learn, good value for money, really gets your mind going and forming a strategy doesnโt take long. Great family game and great quality. Has become a family favourite.

Fantastic family game
This is a really easy game to set up and play. Three generations played it and everyone absolutely loved it. Itโs engaging, fast paced and entertaining. Our favourite board game in years!

Feels like the TV show
Replicates the TV show theme quite well. A few scenarios aren't explicitly covered in the rules, but common sense can make sense of these. Took a while to play, but was dramatic and engaging throughout.

Great family game for older children and adults
I bought this for my 14 year old daughters birthday and she absolutely loves it. The game is easy to understand and has enough variation to mean it won't get boring. This was surprisingly enjoyable to play as adults too unlike some games which get a bit repetitive. Would highly recommend this for older children/teens and up.

Great game for humans and the odd feline too!!
I'm a long time fan of the TV show so had to get this game. The board is double-sided with two routes, one from the first series, London to Singapore and one from the second series Mexico city to Ushuaia in Argentina. The latter being the shorter route. We all enjoyed playing both routes, even the cat! I would have liked the game to be expandible to include more recent series and different routes but don't see how this could be done without issuing a completely new game. I loved the suggestions for ways to change up play including adding taxi options and additional rules. The companion you draw can affect your travel choices en route and chance cards can help or hinder your chances and just like the show, you have a chance to work to boost funds for the final stages, although as the jobs are not country specific, it sometimes led to hilarity over the ludicrous scenarios. For instance how likely is it you could make money busking in a non first world country? I thought the game was well constructed, represents good value, maybe not as versatile as it could have been because of the lack of ability to expand play. The game was dispatched within the given time frame and was well packaged. I don't see this as a particularly educational game as the travel elements are too generalised. It is more geared towards competitive entertainment. It is fine to play with just two players or in teams which cannot be said for all games.

Fun on Christmas Day!
My niece is a travelholic .. She loves the tv show & actually got me into itโฆ I bought her this game for Christmas and she loves it. Her and my nephew played it x4 times on Christmas Day. She said she had wanted to play this game for a while so it was a good choice for a Christmas present. The instructions were easy to follow and the game was fun!

Not the exciting game I expected. Rules not very explicit. Bit boring to play.
