BACKPACKER - The Ultimate Travel Game - Fun pocket sized card game about travelling around the world

Love this card game, it's great to take travelling or playing at home. Easy to learn & can be played with just 2 players, but harder scoring points with more players. Recommend for travellers that enjoy playing games 👍

One of the most difficult things about a new game are learning the rules - and Backpacker scores a massive bonus for its walkthough rules sheet, plus the ability to play a gradually more complex game as you learn. Which is not to say that the rules are complex. It's hard to think of a game it is similar to (poker is the nearest I can think of), which is good as it shows some originality. Basically the aim is to collect a clean set of point scoring cards (representing countries) while avoiding stopper cards (representing various negative events, like running out of money). Some cards also allow you to influence your opponents collections (usually negatively!). Play a couple of hands and you've got it. Games are played by "year" (ie. going through the pack once) and you agree at the start how many years to play. Game play will speed up significantly with practice and tactical knowledge (while there is some luck involved good play is key), but maybe 20 minutes or so per "year" as a beginner would be a reasonable estimate. The game does really require a table to be played on, and a table that everyone can sit around, so though portable I am not sure how much of a travel game (ie. a game that can be played while travelling) it is. A good family game, I am sure that players from about 7 up would enjoy it. It can be played with two, but I think probably works best with 3-4 players. No knowedge of geography or experince of backpacking whatsoever is required - indeed, as regards the former (and I dare say the latter), the game might be said to be (in the mildest sense) educational (but don't let that put you off).

So complicated. But husband likes it. I am sure it will get easier

This game is brilliant for anyone who likes to travel. It is a fun, easy to understand game that is quick to play and appropriate for the whole family. We have played it so much we have had to replace it. It did however last us for ages and is still in good condition but we wanted a new one to play and to combine to add to the game. The only thing this game would benefit from is an expansion to just add more country so you can play for longer!

It was not quite what I thought, so I did not use it on this holiday. I will save for when all my family goes on holiday togetther.

It's a great backpack! There are tons of areas with Velcro to attach things to!

Love this game - my husband and I take it out with us whenever we get a night off from the kids. Easy to play with 2 (or more) people - gets competitive!

Takes some getting used to memorising the rules of the game, but once you get it, it's quite fun! Game can be played with 2 players. The rulebook explains very nicely the step-by-step on how to familiarise yourself with the game.

Gioco molto divertente e diverso dai soliti!! Bello bello per giocare in compagnia!

Colis arrivé selon prévisions, jeu très amusant! Je le conseille à tous ceux qui font des voyages en train, camping car et qui ont du temps á dedier á ce jeux! :)

We first played this game with some friends last New Years, and the first game got us hooked. What it reminds me of is Monopoly Deal but with countries instead of properties. It's definitely a fun game.

Bought this game to playing at home because cannot go out cause of coronavirus. Strongly recommend this game for couples.

Sehr lustig
