Touring England Board Game
Sold Out
This is a relatively simple board game which relies on a little bit of logic and a lucky roll of the dice to win. It's a great game to play and is educational for younger players as it will increase their knowledge of the geography (major towns and cities) of England and Wales.
For 2-4 players, each player is given a set of cards with the names of cities on them. Players then have to roll the dice and move a counter around the board in order to visit each of the cities listed on the cards that they have been given in whichever order they choose and successfully return to their starting point to win. There are various obstacles around the board to make things more interesting.
It's a deceptively simple idea but it can be fiendishly difficult to accomplish, especially if the dice is not on your side. The skill part in the game comes from planning the most efficient route around England. The board and pieces have a nice `30s retro feel. The stylish board is sturdy, the counters are wooden pointers with little wooden cut out cars on them.
