ABSTRACT:
A travel game uses a puzzle map of the United States of America with the removable states as the playing surface. Tokens reflecting different modes of travel are used to represent a player's position in making trips between a start state and a destination state, each being marked with an "S" or "D" token. Spinners are used to randomly determine a player's mode of travel and the length of his move. Reward cards and penalty cards contain special instructions modifying a regular move. Optional insurance is available to protect against some of the penalties. Play money is used to pay fees and penalties. Bonuses and rewards may be collected during play.
