About the Game

"Race to a place...and show what you know!" it says on the box. Move around the British Isles and answer questions to collect cards and tokens and get home first. The questions were set by Michael McKissick Hughes and Eamon Bloomfield.

Starting at a random town, players race to twelve other towns aiming to be the first one there. The first person there gets two points and can answer a trivia question about the destination for another point. Then it's on to the next town and finally back to the start for three extra points. Winner is the player with the most points.

Movement is by rolling 1d6 and if you land on an opponent you can move him five spaces in any direction - usually backwards.

This is similar to Explore Europe, but the map is of the UK, with UK-specific questions.
