Around the World in 80 Days
Draft the right tickets and decide when waiting is cheaper than travelling.
Who it's for
Groups of five who like the Verne setting and want a race with visible cards and clear decisions.
Not for you if…
You dislike being blocked by card draw or want tight control. Someone can take the exact card you needed, seventy minutes is generous for the depth, and the theme carries more of the experience than the mechanics do.
Vibe's take
A steady, pleasant race with a nagging sense that everyone else is moving faster than you.

About this game
Phileas Fogg's race, turned into a card-drafting trip. Each turn you take one face-up travel card with a bonus attached, then decide whether to move on now or wait for better cards. Fewest days spent wins.
