Description

Resa genom Sverige is a roll-and-move game themed as a journey through Sweden. It is clearly an adaptation of Reise durch Nord- und Mitteldeutschland from the same publisher, which is estimated to have been published in the 1950s.

As in its German counterpart, there are two sides to the board, showing northern and southern Sweden, each one a separate game. When landing on town spaces, players read interesting facts from separate sheets, then follow instructions in the rules. These include the old standbys of losing a turn or moving a number of spaces forward or back, but also instructions to pay coins (which presumably have been distributed before the game) to a pot.

There is a reference to dividing this pot after finishing the game, but the actual specifications are missing. (In the German game first place gets half, second place gets a third, third place gets the remainder.) Also, as in the German game, there's no special significance given to the result.
