About the game
Journey Horizon is a card game where players travel across the world to discover breathtaking landscapes. The game lasts 4 rounds. In each round, players draft 2 cards and play them to build their journey. The goal is to create a line of 9 cards by the end of the game, scoring as many points as possible and unlocking bonuses. The game includes 61 beautifully illustrated, unique cards divided into 4 biomes: mountains, desert, forest, and ocean. Each time you add a card to your line, you create new and unique ways to score points. There are also 3 shared objectives that give players extra opportunities to earn even more points. Will you create the most memorable journey?

Questions and answers
Journey Horizon 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 Journey Horizon is 10–20 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 Journey Horizon for ages 8 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.
Journey Horizon has a complexity rating of 1.0 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.
