About the Game

Players trek across a map of Canada trying to visit as many cities and landmarks as possible using air, rail, auto, and ferry. In addition, sketches of major landmarks and animals known to each area are printed in appropriate places on the map.

Play involves the use of different types of bilingually printed cardboard cards. These cards are:

Starting Cards: These 6 green cards with a white maple leaf on the face, indicate on the reverse the city from which a player starts a "trek" across Canada, i.e. - Toronto, Montreal, Vancouver, etc.

Adventure Cards: These 6 purple cards with a white maple leaf on the face indicate animals to be hunted on the tour.

Souvenir Cards: These 6 yellow cards with a white maple leaf on the face indicate a historic settlement or city to be visited on the tour.

Picture Cards: These 16 smaller orange cards with a white maple leaf on the face illustrate native animals and hunters. There are 2 cards in the set for each illustration.

Chance Cards: These 25 large red cards with the white maple leaf contain printed movement and playing instructions on the reverse side that a player must follow.
