The game board includes a map showing all the continents and two or more intersecting closed-loop paths with question, culture or airport spaces. Each player answers the question drawn when a player lands on a question space or follows the instructions on a drawn culture card when a player lands on a culture space.

The first player to collect all the required stamps or to obtain the highest cultural intelligence score at the end of the game is the winner.
