5.0 out of 5 stars Interesting, fun and unique card game, thoughtfully presented.
One of the most difficult things about a new game are learning the rules - and Backpacker scores a massive bonus for its walkthough rules sheet, plus the ability to play a gradually more complex game as you learn.Which is not to say that the rules are complex. It's hard to think of a game it is similar to (poker is the nearest I can think of), which is good as it shows some originality. Basically the aim is to collect a clean set of point scoring cards (representing countries) while avoiding stopper cards (representing various negative events, like running out of money). Some cards also allow you to influence your opponents collections (usually negatively!). Play a couple of hands and you've got it.Games are played by "year" (ie. going through the pack once) and you agree at the start how many years to play. Game play will speed up significantly with practice and tactical knowledge (while there is some luck involved good play is key), but maybe 20 minutes or so per "year" as a beginner would be a reasonable estimate.The game does really require a table to be played on, and a table that everyone can sit around, so though portable I am not sure how much of a travel game (ie. a game that can be played while travelling) it is.A good family game, I am sure that players from about 7 up would enjoy it. It can be played with two, but I think probably works best with 3-4 players. No knowedge of geography or experince of backpacking whatsoever is required - indeed, as regards the former (and I dare say the latter), the game might be said to be (in the mildest sense) educational (but don't let that put you off).
5.0 out of 5 stars Great game, easy to play, overcompensated instructions
Took a while to understand the roles, this is not due to the complexity of the tiles, they are just really poorly written.However, after you unravel the instructions, they are actually pretty simple and you have a great, cheap, and portable game which is excellent for 2 players, or more (when this pandemic ever ends.)
4.0 out of 5 stars Good game once you’ve got your head round it!
Took a bit of getting your head around - but the instructions were clear to follow and their practice hands really helped. Nice compact game and will be a good one to travel with as pretty compact - but equally I envisage more evenings at the kitchen table
5.0 out of 5 stars Great game with with beginner, intermediate and advanced versions so fun for all.
This game is well loved by our family. Having different options means you can adapt the game to make it shorter/simpler or more advanced depending on who’s playing.
3.0 out of 5 stars Complicated
This has the potential to be ready great game. Although we have yet to get to grips with it fully to be able to play it properly.
5.0 out of 5 stars Good game
Quite tricky to get used to the rules but stick with it, it’s a great game
5.0 out of 5 stars A great family game, brilliant for after dinner or sitting on the ferry!
This is such a good game. We play it with our two children, aged 9 and 11 and all absolutely love it.There is quite a lot involved to start with, and the instructions do a good job of slowly bringing different, and slightly more complex elements of the game in over time (something I would strongly recommend!)Can get very tense and quite tense at times, but well worth it!
1.0 out of 5 stars MUCH too complicated to learn and structured to be BORING
We never even ended up trying this game because when we sat down to play, we discovered that the instructions are VERY complicated. This is the first game I ever bought where the instructions actually say "It's best to find someone who knows how to play it and have them explain it to you!" After reading this, I went to YouTube to try to find someone explaining it. All I found there was a review from an avid board game player stating that this was the WORST game ever!! "A complete waste of money! I have never hated a game as much as I hate this one!" He explained that in many circumstances, a player ends up missing THREE consecutive turns. As one can imagine, it's hard to stay engaged in a game when you repeatedly cannot participate for long stretches. We love travel and geography and thought this would be great fun. Not so! This was a complete waste of money and time. Thank goodness Bolo is great with refunds!
Divertente!
Gioco molto divertente e diverso dai soliti!! Bello bello per giocare in compagnia!

Awesome customer service
I love this game. I ordered it and have been waiting for weeks! However, it’s been over a month. I was surprised with the customer service and would recommend ordering this product with confidence!
Easy to learn & quick to play
We first played this game with some friends last New Years, and the first game got us hooked. What it reminds me of is Monopoly Deal but with countries instead of properties. It's definitely a fun game.
Le jeu du voyage
