A travel and delivery game across a map of Africa, where you race between cities to complete expeditions and cash in adventure cards. The clever heart is a 'Book of Adventures' where cards lie stacked like pages you flip through to reach the ones you want. First to a destination claims the bigger reward.
Who it's for
Players who enjoy route-planning and pick-up-and-deliver with a competitive edge, without a heavy rules load.
Not for you if…
You want deep strategic weight, or a foot race where everyone rushing the same city leaves you empty-handed frustrates you.
Vibe's take
Light, zippy movement with a satisfying sense of chasing routes and beating rivals to the finish line.
