How to play
Be the first player to complete 3 trips around Lebanon. 2 to 5 players.
Setup
- The place and action cards are shuffled together into one deck. The trip cards and the epic cards are shuffled into their own decks.
- 5 trips are turned face up in the middle of the table.
- Each player gets 5 cards.
Your turn
You have 3 actions. Each action is one of these:
- Draw a card from the deck.
- Place a place card from your hand onto your board, face up.
- Play an action card from your hand. Its effect happens straight away, then it goes to the discard pile.
At the end of your turn you may hold at most 6 cards; discard down to 6 if you have more.
Completing trips
- Each trip shows the places it needs. As soon as your board holds all of them, you complete the trip: take the trip card, and those place cards leave your board with it.
- A new trip is turned face up so there are always 5 to aim for.
- Every completed trip earns you an epic card, drawn at the end of your turn and played at once.
- If two trips are ready but need the same place card, you choose which one to complete.
- The Teleporter action card can be placed as any place you like.
Winning
The first player with 3 completed trips wins (watch out for Lifeline and Race to Win).
Good to know
- When the deck runs out, the discard pile is shuffled to make a new deck.
- Counter Move is played on someone else's turn, to cancel an action card aimed at you.
- If you have nothing left you can do, your turn ends by itself.
