What is Around the World
The object of the game is to be the first player to reach his or her destination city, by strategically combining amounts of latitude and longitude degrees to traverse the map from his or her starting city. The game board is a map of the world, measuring approximately 16" by 25"
The board includes latitude and longitude lines at 15° intervals. In addition, the world’s time zones are marked along the bottom of the board with different colors, and each country is shaded with the color corresponding to the time zone that it respects. Finally, the International Date Line is depicted on the right-hand side of the board.
Each city represented by a card in the City Cards deck is marked on the board with a red dot, with the name of the city, the country in which it is located, and its coordinates printed next to it, for convenient reference by the players. An example is shown below:
