About the Game

A game where players learn about geography, route planning, and engage in brain-teasing puzzles while exploring diverse cultures around the world.

Game Overview Earth, the blue planet in the solar system, is just a speck of dust in the vast universe. For us, Earth is vast and boundless, with so many places yet to be visited and landscapes yet to be seen. If we are too young to travel the entire planet, why not join our little monster in Globetrotter and tour our world together?

As the "Plus" version of 山河之旅 (Discover China), Globetrotter expands on the original gameplay, extending the map from China to the entire world! Through a game format that children are sure to enjoy, combining a game board and cards, players collect and explore to enhance their knowledge of the world, while also improving their observation skills, route planning abilities, risk avoidance, and geographic awareness.

Basic Mode

Open and place the world map on the table. Sort all travel tickets by color and place them in the storage box. Each player selects a monster piece and a house piece of the same color. Shuffle all location cards face down. Before the game starts, each player is dealt one location card as a starting point, which is placed face up in front of them. Place the monster piece on the corresponding location on the world map. Place the house piece on the starting location card. The youngest player starts first. Draw four location cards from the deck and place them face up on the corresponding locations on the map. The game proceeds clockwise. Each turn, players roll two dice and receive travel tickets of the corresponding colors based on the dice results. If a "colorful" side is rolled, the player can choose a travel ticket of any color. Players can use any number and color of travel tickets each turn to move their pieces along the corresponding colored paths or save them for future turns. If the player ends their turn on a location matching any of the four face-up location cards on the map, they collect that card. Draw a new location card to replace the one taken, maintaining four face-up location cards on the map. The game ends when any player collects six location cards and returns to the starting point, winning the game.
