About the game
Spiel De Jahres-nominated game designer Stephen Glenn brings this card game about heading around the globe to the world's hottest cities. Finally in print, Jetsetters has been Hippodice-recognized as a quality card game. Deal cards from the deck to the center of the table equal to the number of players + 1. Each card has a city, a transportation mode, a point value, and a turn order number. Each player selects a card, and the remaining card goes in the Travel Agency. The turn order number determines what order people will pick cards in the next round. At the end of the game, players score points based on which cities they own that are in the Travel Agency, and for having the most of a particular transportation mode.

Questions and answers
Jetsetters supports 2–5 players according to the catalogue. This range comes from the publisher’s listed player count, so the game can be set up for any group size within it. Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.
The listed playing time for Jetsetters is 20 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game. The actual duration depends on the group, the player count and familiarity with the rules: first sessions usually run longer, while experienced groups often finish faster. Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Jetsetters for ages 7 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
Jetsetters has a complexity rating of 1.4 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a light game. The rating reflects how much rules knowledge, planning and decision-making a typical game demands. Expect a longer first teach for heavier games, and use a preparation guide before game night.
