Description

Players must race from a common US coastal city, to a common destination city on the opposite coast. Each player will have 4 different checkpoint cities which they must pass through as they chart their own course across the United States. Along the way, they must avoid roadblocks and make sure that they don’t run out of gas. First person to pass through all their checkpoints and reach the end destination wins.

Game play is quick to learn and has a nice mix of strategy and a bit of luck. With each turn, roads are blocked or unblocked depending how the player rolls the dice - so the course travelers are taking is constantly changing. Players pick their checkpoint cities out of a deck of cards. Players use fuel tokens to travel, also to pay "tolls" to jump over road blocks or even move their opponents. Play time depends on number of players.
