Travel Go facts for kids
Go — The International Travel Game, later called Travel Go, is a fun board game about traveling the world! It was made by a company called Waddingtons Ltd, starting in 1961. The main goal of the game is to travel all around the world by air, sea, train, and road. As you visit different cities, you need to collect a certain number of souvenirs. Once you have enough souvenirs, you must return to your starting point, which is London.
Travel Go: Your World Adventure Game
The game board for Travel Go is made of two main parts. Each player has two game pieces, one for each part of the board.
The City Edge
The outer part of the board is like the "city edge." This is where your game piece moves when you are inside a city. On this part of the board, you can do important things like changing your money or buying tickets for your next trip.
The World Map
The inner part of the board is a big world map. This map shows all the different travel routes between major cities around the globe. It's how you move from one city to another.
Unexpected Journeys
The world map also shows some very far-off places, like Heard Island. Sometimes, if you land on a special "hazard" spot while traveling, you might have to draw a "risk" card. This card could cause a "storm" that sends your game piece to one of these remote locations! It adds an exciting challenge to your journey.
