Trekking the World 2nd Edition is a light strategy game where you race to the world’s most fascinating places, draft itineraries, collect souvenirs, and gain powers that combo.

The 2nd edition is a complete mechanical overhaul based on analysis of thousands of online comments about 1st Edition, and our evolving design principles.

We’ve tried to create a game hobbyists AND their families will like. A tough design challenge.

Who It’s For:

Hobbyists who want to entice non-gamer friends and family into playing
Hobbyists who like rules-light games with some hidden strategy
Folks getting into the hobby for the first time
Folks looking for a gift (it feels premium)
Folks who want to turn their 10-and-up kids onto strategy games
Folks who want to learn about cool places in the world, or want their kids to

Who It’s Not For:

Folks who adore 1st Edition (why risk regression to the mean?)
Folks for whom the blocking in 1st Edition is essential - we replaced it with other interactions (but it's easy to house-rule it back in).
Hobbyists who dislike rules-simple games regardless of strategic qualities

Immerse yourself in the captivating realm of forest management, where players strive to achieve the best use of the Mediterranean forest while battling recurring wildfires.

Wild Duo is a game collection that includes 5 games for 2 players. You can play these games with two players or in larger groups (4/6/8/10), in which case the games are rotated between the groups of two. There is definitely enough variety, as each of the games is a unique gaming experience.

The games are perfectly playable for both children and adult players, as the gaming experience depends entirely on your, respectively, your fellow player's skills. That's why some games can be decided after only 5 minutes, while others last 30 minutes.

Each of the games deals with a different animal species or a specific behavior of this animal species and thus takes the players on a journey into one of 5 worlds. Each of the five rule explanations therefore always includes an exciting, thematic text on the corresponding animal species.
