Description

Around the World in 80 Days is a two‑player adventure that captures the spirit of Jules Verne’s classic. In a flash (the game is over in a few minutes), you and a friend draft cards to chart a wild globe‑trotting race, picking routes, steamships, and unexpected obstacles. The rules are so simple even your grandma could jump in, and because it’s a print‑and‑play title you can pop it out of the box and start right away. Designed by Lloyd Krassner back in 2003, the game blends a travel‑themed story with a fast‑paced card‑drafting mechanic that keeps each turn fresh – you’re always deciding whether to push your pace, take a shortcut, or gamble on a daring detour. It’s a perfect bite‑size showdown for two players who love a good dash around the globe, and the novelty of turning a beloved novel into a quick, competitive card game makes every play feel like a mini‑adventure.
