i bought this to encourage 'family times around the table' though was not convinced i would succeed.
After the first game even my 14 year old daughter was hooked and it now ranks as one of our top games for lost rainy days.
Much more fun than you might imagine and a wonderful vintage look!

This is a relatively simple board game which relies on a little bit of logic and a lucky roll of the dice to win. For 2-4 players, each player is given a set of cards with the names of cities on them. Players then have to roll the dice and move a counter around the board in order to visit each of the listed cities in whichever order they choose and successfully return to their starting point to win. There are various obstacles around the board to make things more interesting.
It's a great game to play. A deceptively simple idea but it can be fiendishly difficult to accomplish, especially if the dice is not on your side. The skill part in the game comes from planning the most efficient route around England. It will be educational for younger players in that it will increase their knowledge of the geography of England and Wales, though the interesting facts on the city cards are a bit dull.
The board and pieces have a nice `30s retro feel. The board is sturdy, the counters are wooden pointers with little wooden cut out cars on them. It's pretty stylish.
All in all 5 stars.

We had to tweak the rules a little:
Don't start from one of the towns on the cards, as this can give a player an unfair advantage.
Dispense with the rule of requiring an exact throw to land on a town you have a card for, as you'll be held up in "traffic jams" for about 20 turns. If a player reaches a town with an inexact throw, he should rest in that town and miss his next turn instead.
The spots are quite small and the cars are a bit fiddly. It's easy to knock them when throwing the die.
