About the game
The Bucket List Expansion contains two modules that can be mixed into the base game of Trekking the World: Second Edition. You may play with both modules together or with just one or the other. The Bucket List- There are so many amazing places in this world you’ve wanted to visit. With your bucket list written—now is the time to journey out and experience the world in one big life-fulfilling trip! Each player begins the game with a Bucket List card, which has eight locations around the world they can visit. At the end of your turn, if you are on a location that matches any location on your Bucket List, “cross off” that location — then gain the Itinerary token depicted on there, either a Sightseeing token or a Worldly token. Travel Personas- At setup, each player is given 2 Travel Persona cards to choose from. One is discarded, and the one that is kept becomes your Travel Persona for the game. The Travel Personas grant unique powers to use throughout the game and also offer a starting boost with new sets of starting tokens. Note: The Bucket List expansion came packaged inside the base game's box for Kickstarter backers, but will be sold by itself. —description from the publisher
