TravelMania Board Game Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I was looking for a game that would challenge my wife and I in garnering facts about other countries in the world while catering to our board game playing enjoyment. We are college grads and reasonably intelligent, and wanted to learn more about our world while avoiding the large number of games for ages "10 and over". That can be a challenging task for a game designer in this genre, but there are more than enough children's games out there. However, this game was a good first attempt at satisfying this premise. Okay, about the game itself- There are plenty of facts, and they range from difficult to know to extremely difficult. Which is good. However, the means of obtaining the required advancement opportunities on the board were made relatively easy, and we found that the game ended rather quickly. And we felt inadequately challenged insofar as making the game last very long on the board. So we resorted to just pulling cards and reading each other questions from them, without using the game board at all. That loses it's excitement rather quickly. I believe the model can be improved upon with a little more thought to the interaction with the board, but would still recommend this game for people looking for a challenging source of overall worldly trivia. We look forward to the sequel.

This unique game is a lot of fun. It's kind of like a geography version of Trivial Pursuit, so prepare to have your knowledge challenged. It is for ages 13+, but I found I could play it with my 7 year old son and he enjoyed it, as long as he got some "hints" for the right answers. In Travel Mania, players travel around the board and must collect five visas and passport stampsone from each of five continent groupsto win the game. The passport stamps are earned by landing on spaces labeled with different country names, while the visas are given when answering trivia questions correctly.
