Plays on a vertical board. Player pieces have magnets. Players can only see one side of the two sided board so they need to communicate with each other! [available at I’m Board Middleton or Sun Prairie]
Ages 5-10 (adults can have fun with it as well)

Paula tells how much fun it was to play during a train ride:
This is a roll the dice and write on your personal map game that can be played by any number of players – just print a map for each player and all players share the same dice roll for each round (excellent for play by video chat such as with Zoom or Google Meet).
There are two different base games – GREEN and YELLOW. Both have exactly the same base game but with different special “expansion” dice (which I have never used yet).

Overview Explanation of the base game – she includes the GOAL CARDS, but they are not needed to play the game, and the game can be more fun without them (less thinking) Note that even experts make mistakes – she missed one error in her example of scoring a final game:
