Follow the path of those who took this legendary Jules
Verne trip around the world. Do it less than 80 days and faster than your
opponents and win the game. Win or lose, all will enjoy this game as you
travel by train, boat, elephant, and balloon around the world.
As in Jules Verne's famous story, the players are members
of a London club at the beginning of the 20th century who bet each other
on a round the world journey: the player who can complete the journey in
less than 80 days will win the bet and the accolades of his
comrades. To accomplish this, the players will have to make good use
of train and ship travel as they move from place to place. Along the
way, they may have the opportunity to speed their travels with balloons
and elephants. However, they must also avoid the over-zealous
detective, who will slow their progress if he can catch up with them for
interrogations in the places they visit. Naturally, events outside the
control of the players may also play a part.
