About the game
From the Manufacturer’s website: Discovering Europe is the fun way to improve your geographical know-how while indulging in a spot of armchair traveling. Each player is dealt a number of City cards at the start and the aim is then to visit every one of those cities. The winner is the one who gets to all of them first. However, things are never simple when you travel and you may well encounter road blocks or be affected by chance. Chance cards can send you in entirely the opposite direction - to Minsk, for example, when you are hoping to get to Dublin - but they can also give you a free airline ticket or allow you to send another player to somewhere like Kishinev. If you're hazy about where exactly Kishinev is, then you certainly need to play Discovering Europe.

Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.
