Backpacker is a fantastic card game about travelling the world. Inspired by real life backpacking experiences, it’s aimed at those with an urge to wander and a mind for adventure, be it sitting at home or off on your travels.
Backpacker can be played with both family and friends and is enjoyed equally by backpackers, outdoors enthusiasts, holidaymakers and armchair travellers alike.
It is uniquely the only game about travelling the world that is small enough to take away with you when you go camping, trekking, on holiday or off on a big trip. It will make you think, as well as keep you amused, both on your next trip and beyond, whether on the beach, in a café, sheltering from the rain, or on a plane, so stick it in your backpack for fun on the road.
Most people like to take a small game or cards away with them to provide evening entertainment or kill time whilst waiting for problems to be resolved, and now they can take a game that is about what they love doing and talking about, "travelling abroad".
Object of The Game
To win, you must outwit your opponents to be the player who has the most photos safely back at home (and hence the most points) at the end of the game. Go travelling on a number of eventful trips around the world. Each time you return home safely from a trip, you score points for the number of photos you have taken. All players have 5 cards in their hand, and take turns to draw and play a card. The game ends when the draw pile is exhausted.
There are 2 types of card in the game. Country Cards and Event Cards. The game is easy to learn as text on the bottom of each event card explains how it is played
Portable, competitive and fun so stick it in your backpack for fun on the road Wanderlust Magazine
