Product overview
Ideal Race Across The World Family Board Game BBC TV Show 2-6 Players Ages 8+ Strategy And Travel Game
Experience the excitement of a globe-trotting race from your own home with the Ideal Race Across the World Board Game. Based on the popular BBC television series, this family strategy game challenges players to plan routes, manage limited money and race towards their final destination without relying on planes or smartphones.
Players must balance speed against spending. Different travel choices allow players to progress around the board, while money management becomes an important part of the race. Players can stop to complete jobs and earn additional funds, but taking time away from travelling can give opponents an opportunity to move ahead.

The game also introduces travel companion cards, with each companion offering different positives and negatives. Choosing the right companion can affect how players approach their journey and adds another strategic layer to each game.
The official John Adams product information describes the game as a race in which pairs travel across the world using their chosen routes, with no flights or smartphones permitted. The first pair to reach the final destination wins.
The game includes a double-sided gameboard, money, dice, Chance Cards, Job Cards, Accommodation Cards, Travel Companion Cards, playing pawns and instructions. The combination of routes, cards, companions and money decisions means that individual games can play out differently.
The Race Across the World board game is suitable for family game nights, fans of the television show and players who enjoy competitive tabletop games involving planning and resource management. It requires no batteries or assembly, so the game can be set up and played directly from the box.
