RULES:

Give each player tile holders so that 1-10 are displayed in order. The object of the game is to be the first player to complete a 10 day journey across the United States. Completed journeys start and end with a state tile, and each day is connected to the next appropriately.

You make connections from one day to the next 1 of 3 ways: By foot, which is when 2 states that boarder each other are side by side in the tile holder; By automobile, you go from one state to another through a third bordering state with a car tile in between the two on your tile holder; or by airplane, when you have a airplane tile next to two states of the same color.

Transportation tiles next to each other are not connected. Alaska and Hawaii may only be connected to by airplane and the airplane color only needs to match the destination or departure state. Any color airplane may be used for travel between Alaska and Hawaii.

To start the game, shuffle the tiles and players randomly pick 10 tiles, one at a time and place in any open tile holder position. Stack the remaining tiles and discard 3 into separate piles. Select a player to go first and play goes clockwise.

On your turn you may either swap two tiles in your tile holder or you may pick a new tile from either the a discard pile or draw deck and replace it with one in your tile holder (discarding the replaced tile in any one of the 3 discard piles). If you choose to take the last tile from a discard pile, you must discard your replaced tile to the empty spot.

At the end of a player’s turn if they have completed a 10 day journey, they reveal their tiles and confirm with the other players that all the days connect together and are the winner.

If you want the game to be more challenging remove the “swap tile” rule.
