Commuter

Trafikant (Swe.) or Commuter (UK) is a simple roll and move board game for 2-5 players about travel and road signs. Both versions has been adapted to national trafic rules and road signs etc. of the respectice countries, Sweden and the United Kingdom.

Players start at home and have to make five circuits of the board, representing journeys to work on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday.

Players take it in turns to move their (car) markers the number of space determined by the roll of dice. The space that is landed on, many of which are marked with appropriate road signs, may affect the playing piece either in that round (go back to...) or in the next (throw 7 or more to proceed..).

Certain squares require a question on road safety or the rules of the road to answered. These are graded into three levels to allow people of mixed ages to play.

Each circuit of the board earns a player a counter in his or her color. The first player to receive five counters by completing his final journey with an exact roll of the dice is the winner.

The first version (the Swedish one) was made in partnership with Sweden's National Society for Road Safety.
