Excellent Game
This is so good. Trekking The World is an excellent game. Once you've learnt where all the parts go, it's quick to set up. Quality parts, lovely pictures and board. Well worth the money. We also liked Trekking Through History - another great game from Underdog games!

Great family game
Great game. Have played as a duo, trio and quad. All times it's been a great game to play. Played with various family members and now there's a copy on every household. Easy to play.

"Must have" board game
Amazing game. It doesn't look straightforward, but it is easy to learn. As you go through the lengthy instructions, you can easily play. My 8-year-old boy learned it very quickly. Great adventure. It's an excellent educational game. The child (and parent) can learn about continents, countries and world-famous places. At the same time, children can develop math skills, logic, and tactic skills.

Very nice relaxing and attractive looking family game
This is a delightful gateway game with very attractive colourful art which is ideal for family play. It plays up to 5 and all the rules are printed on the board (about a 5 minute teach time) playtime under an hour. The component quality is generally very nice but the main card deck for some reason is quite thin card so needs sleeving. Recommended and educational.

Best game ever!!!
I luckily stumbled across this game when looking for a fun but educational family game. It is exceptional.Yes it takes awhile to get a grips of the game but after playing it for 10 minutes you soon work the game out. We as a family have loved Ticket to Ride for years but I would go as far as saying that this is better. There are more ways to score points and the scoring system itself is easier to navigate.Had the game at Christmas and have played it multiple times already. Every time we get a different winner and the game is never played the same twice.Added bonus is that our kids are learning about geography at the same time. Many of the places featured on the game are new to our kids. Not new any more. They know exactly where to look on the map for the destination.Would give it 6 out of 5 if I could.

Great game
This is quite a complex game but our 8 year old grandson plays it without help even though it’s for 10+. It’s one of those games where you have no idea who has won until the game is finished and scores added up. We love it. Also very educational as the place cards have all the information about the place on the reverse. Can highly recommend it.

Beautiful art, underwhelming game
This game's theme is brilliant, the production value and art quality is stellar, the box insert is really tidy, and overall it is a joy to behold. Beautiful vibrant colours, wonderful artistic renditions of some of the most gorgeous places on earth. Perfect family theme for nearly all ages. What's not to like??My family and I really were excited to play this game - but we found ourselves a little underwhelmed. Firstly the setup is fairly time-consuming, needing to populate the board with tons of cubes, lay out cards correctly, and ensure everything is accessible and within reach to players. Secondly the rules are fairly complex and fiddly - learning to play is quite slow, teaching is quite slow, and there are a lot of different systems to the game that need to be grasped in order to develop a winning strategy (or change your strategy if somebody beats you to a spot you wanted). My 8 and 10 year olds are great at games, but found their excitement waning as the game plowed on. Third I would say that while the theme is really, really strong (and is what actually carries the game itself), it doesn't fit particularly cleanly with the actual rules. While the idea of collecting souvenirs, memories, and taking tours is evocative and exciting - the reality of 'trade 3 red and 2 green cards for Mount Fuji' is a bit dry. If I'm already at Mount Fuji, why can't I just take a tour there? Why do I have to wait for a specific combination of colours? What are those cards even supposed to represent?While it is clearly a design decision of the producers _not_ to have a money system in the game (perhaps as a comment that you don't have to have a lot of money to travel, or that trekking the world is not just for the wealthy), it does leave something of a hole in the players decisions. If I have a limited resource (time, travel distance, plane/train tickets?) then the interesting choices become how I will best use what I have. This is fun for kids because they can just say 'I don't really care about winning, I just want to get a BOAT TO THE VOLCANO!' and they find joy in their own volition. This game finds itself restricting you in the choices you can make by the colours of cards you randomly draw. It attempts to mitigate this somewhat by the power cards, but this feels more like a bolted-on extra system to modify/fix a basic tenet which doesn't really hold together particularly strongly.Don't get me wrong, this game is quite fun, and the overall presentation and idea behind it is really really evocative and gorgeous. But the underpinning idea tries to draw from ticket to ride, but because it is a slower and less simple game, it ends up getting a bit stodgy and restrictive. We'll probably give away or trade away our copy - or perhaps I may cannibalize the gorgeous, GORGEOUS board and cards for a rework of the rules...

Super fun for couples or friends
My partner and I really enjoy playing the game. The cards are beautifully designed, the rules after 1 round are simple to follow. You compete but it’s not aggressive so you can easily play only 2-4 people and have lots of fun every time. Would definitely recommend for casual game nights.

Giro del mondo in poche carte
Gioco in inglese con regole semplici ma molto carino da affrontare in almeno 3 giocatori per darsi battaglia in giro per il globo. In 2 giocatori gira comunque bene ma ognuno pensa più alla sua strategia. Disegni molto belli, plancia grande e colorata. Non c'è molto testo da leggere a parte il regolamento che si trova in internet anche tradotto in italiano. Consigliato per tutte le età e per giocatori neofiti ed esperti.

Fun, challenging game
The game is very fun to play with family or friends. It is challenging and keeps the player’s attention through to the end. Strategies can be learned each time played. It last a good amount of time. It is a great way to learn about iconic tourist sights across the globe. It also reminds us how accessible places are across the globe and how connected we can be. It was fun to be reminded what countries are included in each continent. Reading the tour cards was interesting. The game is set up where it will be different every time the game is set up; different locations will be featured each time played. It is a great family fun game across ages. We all put down our electronic devices and made eye contact having conversations. Family game night is now back in our house with this game. Players 2 to 5 gives the option to play with a different amount of people. The video link explains the game quickly. That is very helpful, but there are a lot of procedures and rules in situations to keep up with that are not clearly accessible in the printed instructions. There is a helpful instruction reminder card for each player for the basics. The game kept all age groups involved. Be sure to have players watch the instruction video before setting up. (Such a great feature!) The price of the game seemed high for a board game, but it provides great entertainment. Players really have to pay attention and stay engaged. Pretty cool board game!
