In Card Trip, we plan a road trip across Europe. Try to fill your days as efficiently as possible with different attractions. Attend a cycling event in France, hike through nature in the Dolomites, stroll through Prague, and finish with the tulip festival — it’s all possible in this Card Trip. Make sure to schedule enough rest moments between busy days and plan the most memorable trip this way.
Each player creates their own Card Trip of 16 cards, in which the different locations must be alternated. You cannot visit two locations of the same type in a row, so you’ll need to mix them carefully to make your week as interesting as possible. Your energy per day is limited, so between activities you’ll need to rest at the campsite before starting a new week.
To add cards to your trip, you must always make sure the card you play has a higher number than the previous card in your week. Visiting the campsite (a card with the campsite side face up) resets your week, allowing you to start fresh on a new adventure. Keep a close eye on your energy as well: each week you can have a maximum of 7 stars, after which you’ll need to return to the campsite.
All players simultaneously select 2 cards from their hand and place them face down in front of them. Once everyone has chosen, the cards are revealed and added to the week. The remaining cards in hand are then passed to the player on the left. So make sure to pick the best locations for yourself before you have to pass your hand along. After 8 rounds, the game ends and it’s time to count the points. Each location type has its own way of scoring, and the player with the most points has created the best Card Trip and wins the game!
