Itchy Feet: The Travel Game

About this board game

Itchy Feet: The Travel Game is a travel-themed race for 2–6 players that plays in about 45 minutes. The goal is to be the first player to “travel” to the country in the center of the table, but every journey begins in your own country.

Each country requires three specific travel-related items. Your hand acts as your bag, so you must gather the right items and hold on to your passport before you can travel. Choosing what to keep and what to seek is central to every turn.

There are several ways to find the cards you need. Draw from the deck, recycle cards from the discard pile, trade with other players, or try to steal an item from an opponent. These options create a lively race in which other players’ choices can affect your plans.

• Collect three required travel items for your destination.
• Keep your passport so you can complete your journey.
• Draw, recycle, trade, or steal to build the right hand.
• Race to the country in the center of the table.

For groups seeking more variety, the game includes five optional extensions that can be added to the deck. Events affect all players immediately, while Special Items provide special actions. Forbidden Items prevent travel and can be difficult to discard.

Postcards introduce an alternate win scenario, and Characters give each player a unique ability. Add these extensions to increase the game’s depth and complexity, or play with the core race as you learn the system. In Itchy Feet, smart packing and flexible planning are the keys to reaching your destination first.
