In Expeditions Around the World, players must reach as many of the destinations on the board as possible. At the start of the game, they receive a hand of cards, each of which indicates a destination.
To reach these destinations, players advance 3 different expeditions beginning in Northern Europe using arrows. However, these expeditions can be led by any player.
Each time a location in hand has been reached, the player concerned can lay down his card, even if it was another player who played the expedition arrow. Each card played in this way will earn its owner one point.
There are also six common destinations that everyone can try to reach, visible to all players. If an expedition passes through one of these cards, it is placed in front of the player who connected it and will also score a point. A new card is then revealed in the shared destinations.
Up to 2 tickets can be played on a player's turn, in addition to the arrow (before and/or after) for a bonus. These tickets can be used to play another arrow on an expedition, to remove the last arrow from an expedition, or to exchange one of 2 cards drawn at random from the deck.
If an expedition forms a loop back onto itself, the player can immediately restart it with an arrow leaving from from any point already reached by that expedition.
It is also worth noting that the earth is round, and it is possible to move from one edge of the board to the other.
But it would be too easy to have only destinations unknown to your opponents! In fact, at the start of the game, before starting the expeditions, players must each place 4 small tokens, each indicating one of the destinations they have in their hand.
In this way, the player reveals some of their destinations to their opponents, who will be sure not to lead an expedition to them.
If any player passes one of the tokens, it is retrieved by the owner and will give them an additional point.
In Expeditions Around the World, you will need to strategically manage the routes to destinations and cities, creating links using your tickets, looping, and replay possibilities. In this way, you will sometimes be able to cross long distances and lay down several cards in just one turn.
The game ends when a player has discarded all of their cards or if there are no more arrows available. Each player scores one point for each card placed in front of them, and one point for each token recovered, and loses one point for each of their cards in hand or tokens still on the board.

And that's it for today.
As always,
*Until next week,

Wolfgang Kramer: Odprave okoli sveta!
V igri Expeditions Around the World morajo igralci doseči čim več ciljev na plošči.
Na začetku igre prejmejo karte, od katerih vsaka označuje cilj.
Da bi dosegli te cilje, igralci s puščicami napredujejo v 3 različnih odpravah, ki se začnejo v severni Evropi.
Vendar lahko te odprave vodi vsak igralec.
Vsakič, ko je dosežena lokacija v roki, lahko zadevni igralec odloži svojo karto, tudi če je na puščico ekspedicije igral drug igralec.
Vsaka tako odigrana karta prinese lastniku eno točko.
Obstaja tudi šest skupnih ciljev, ki jih lahko poskusi doseči vsak, vidnih vsem igralcem.
Če gre ekspedicija skozi eno od teh kart, se postavi pred igralca, ki jo je povezal, in prav tako doseže točko.
V skupnih ciljih se nato prikaže nova kartica.
Poleg puščice (pred in/ali za) lahko igralec igra do 2 vstopnici, ko je na vrsti bonus.
Te vstopnice lahko uporabite za igranje z drugo puščico na odpravi, za odstranitev zadnje puščice iz ekspedicije ali za zamenjavo ene od 2 kart, naključno izvlečenih iz kompleta.
Če odprava oblikuje zanko nazaj vase, jo lahko igralec takoj znova zažene s puščico, ki zapusti katero koli točko, ki jo je ta odprava že dosegla.
Omeniti velja tudi, da je zemlja okrogla in se je mogoče premikati z enega roba plošče na drugega.
Vendar bi bilo prelahko imeti samo cilje, ki jih nasprotniki ne poznajo!
Pravzaprav mora vsak igralec na začetku igre, preden začne z odpravami, položiti 4 majhne žetone, od katerih vsak označuje enega od ciljev, ki jih imajo v roki.
Na ta način igralec razkrije nekaj svojih ciljev svojim nasprotnikom, ki bodo prepričani, da ne bodo vodili ekspedicije do njih.
Če katerikoli igralec poda enega od žetonov, ga lastnik pridobi in mu prinese dodatno točko.
V Expeditions Around the World boste morali strateško upravljati poti do ciljev in mest, ustvarjati povezave z uporabo vaših vstopnic, zank in možnosti ponovnega predvajanja.
Na ta način boste včasih lahko prehodili velike razdalje in odložili več kart v samo enem obratu.
Igra se konča, ko igralec odvrže vse svoje karte ali če ni več na voljo nobenih puščic.
Vsak igralec doseže eno točko za vsako karto, ki je postavljena pred njim, in eno točko za vsak vrnjen žeton ter izgubi eno točko za vsako svojo karto v roki ali žeton, ki je še na plošči.
