Backpackers Race is a fun family game of boycott and cooperation with your friends, whose main objective is to know the world, traveling through all the continents, without the other players discovering in which country you are hiding.

The game method consists of playing country cards from your hand to the table; Pass at least one turn in each country, without being discovered, and add it to your passport as a visited country. Through Questions the other players will try to guess your current country; If they do, they will take your country and add it to their passport. This is a turn based game. Each player may only play cards from his hand.

The Countries are the objective of the game. In your turn, and only once per turn, you can travel to a new country: simply lower it from your hand face down to the table.

Your mission begins in Antarctica, where your spaceship lands. Your goal is to "CIRCLE THE WORLD" or "COMPLETE YOUR PASSPORT" before your companions do, keeping you alive and without being discovered. To CIRCLE THE WORLD you have to visit the 6 Continents of the game. To COMPLETE YOUR PASSPORT it is necessary to have 10 countries visited.
