Travelin'

To set up the game, each player receives one passport and one help card. Three special cards—'Player Order' (face-up, clockwise), 'Weather' (face-up, 'Let's Go!'), and 'Gold Trophy' (face-up)—are placed in the center of the table. The remaining 112 cards are shuffled, and each player is dealt eight cards. The rest of the cards form the main deck in the center, with three cards drawn face-up next to it. Finally, each player chooses one country card from their hand and places it face-down in front of them. Once all players have done this, they flip their chosen country cards face-up, which become their starting locations.

The main objective of Travelin' is to accumulate the most points by traveling across Europe, collecting country cards, and strategically using action and effect cards. Players will compete to visit various countries, each offering different point values and special abilities, to become the ultimate traveler.

Each turn consists of three stages. First, you can either draw two cards from the main deck, or draw one face-up card from the discard pile, or choose one of the three exposed cards next to the main deck. Second, you must perform one of three actions: travel by playing country and ticket cards to move to a new country, play an action card and follow its instructions, or use the ability of a country card already in front of you. Third, you must discard one card from your hand. If a card is taken from the three exposed cards, it is immediately replaced from the main deck. If the main deck runs out, the discard pile is shuffled to form a new deck.

Points are primarily earned from country cards, which have specific point values indicated on them. Some special cards, like the 'Gold Trophy' and 'Passport of Air', also award victory points. Country cards with special abilities, once used, are rotated 180 degrees to show they have been activated. The player with the highest total points at the end of the game wins.

The game concludes immediately when any player successfully lays down their fifth country card in front of them. This triggers the final scoring phase. The player who laid down the fifth country card also takes the 'Gold Trophy' card, which is worth 5 victory points. Additionally, if any player holds the 'Passport of Air' card, they also place it in front of them for 5 victory points. All players then calculate their total points from country cards, special cards, and any other scoring conditions.
