About the game
Tripped is a sprint across North America, players traveling to various cities before sprinting home for the win. The game site notes, "The game gets competitive immediately as each player takes off to a different city in each of the 6 longitudes, racing to get back home first. This could take you to places you already know (NEW YORK, TORONTO, MEXICO CITY), to places you’d like to go (BERMUDA, ANCHORAGE, SANTO DOMINGO), to places you can’t pronounce (QAQORTOQ, INUKJUAK, UTQIAGVIK)." A turn consists of 1. Taking Trips, 2. Playing Tripped cards, and 3. Drawing more cards.
