Frequently Asked Questions

Can I trade Tickets with an opponent?

Yes, on your turn.

Nobody wants to trade with me. What can I do now?

You can exchange three identical tickets for one of what you need from the deck.

Can I trade Tripped cards with an opponent?

No. Tripped cards cannot be traded with other players.

Can I trade Tickets with a player who has already finished the game?

No. Their tickets and Tripped cards are placed in the discard pile.

Is squatting in the same location for multiple turns permitted?

Generally speaking, no. A player’s game piece cannot remain on the same city for two or more turns, except in situations where:

– A Tripped card is played which prevents the affected player from moving their game piece

– A Tripped card is played which relocates the affected player’s game piece back to the previous city in question

– The affected player lacks the required number of tickets or movements to change positions

– The affected player’s game piece is blocked by in opponents in every direction where travel would otherwise be possible

Tickets / Tripped Cards

Tripped cards can be used strategically to gain an advantage, to defend yourself, or to level the playing field. Your chances of winning improve when picking them up and playing them throughout the game.

How many Tickets can be played during a turn?

There are no limitations, so long as you don’t exceed the maximum permissible number of game piece movements.

How many Tripped cards can be played during a turn?

A maximum of one red and one green card can be played per turn.

Does playing a Tripped card count as one of my four moves?

No. The cards can be played at any point during your turn, up until you draw cards from the deck.

How do I play a Tripped card on another player?

A red card is placed on the desired opponent’s passport. To prevent piling on, only one red card can occupy the space on the affected player’s passport. At the end of the affected player’s turn, the red card is discarded. Green, orange and blue cards are immediately discarded once played.

Can I use the Bump card, the Deport card or the Detour card on myself?

No. Nice try though.

I’m on an island and someone played the Longshoreman Strike card on me.

You have to find another way off the island either by accessing an airport or using a Tripped card to trade places.

Can the Diplomatic Immunity card be used to defend against an orange or another blue card?

No.

All six of my destinations have been claimed. However, I drew a Mechanical Failure card. What do I do here?

The Mechanical Failure card doesn’t apply in this situation. Discard it.

Can I win the game by trading places with a player who happens to be on my home city?

Yes, but be careful. Someone might use Diplomatic Immunity to stop you.

After trading places, both me and another player are now on our home cities. What happens?

The game is draw. To avoid this outcome, pay attention to your surroundings and don’t trade places during this extremely unlikely scenario.

I used the deport, the detour or the bump card on an opponent and sent to their home city at the end of game. What happens?

If the affected player has all six of their destination cities claimed, they win the game. Pay close attention to the board and don’t do this!

Game Piece Movement

Can I board or get off a train where roads and rails intersect?

No. Players cannot transfer between different modes of travel mid-movement.

My game piece is in a latitude or longitude affected by the Natural Disaster. Someone just played a Fuel Shortage card on me. What happens now?

In this specific instance, one movement by road will count as four actions.

How does flying work?

Players can fly between any two cities with an airport displayed on the board. To determine the cost of your flight, count the number of quadrants your game piece travels through by using the shortest combination of horizontal, vertical and/or diagonal movements. Note : Do not include the quadrant you are currently situated in. With the right number of tickets, your game piece can go from one end of the map to the other in a single move.

Someone is blocking my path. Can my game piece jump over theirs?

No. You must find another way around their game piece.

Someone is sitting on my destination city. What can I do?

You can play a green card that allows you to relocate a player’s game piece to another city on the board. Note : If there is nowhere to move their game piece, the card in question cannot be used.

Claiming Cities

It is possible to claim multiple cities on the same turn?

Yes. While rare, it is possible to achieve.

Do I need to claim my home city at the end of the game?

No. Remove your game piece from the board.

I forgot to place one of my city cards on my passport after leaving my destination. Do I have to backtrack?

Yes. In order to claim a city, a player must be present at the destination in question. Pay attention!
