It was October 2, 1900 - 28 years after the London eccentric Phileas Fogg had bet 20,000 pounds that he could "travel around the world in 80 days" and had won. Well, at the end of the century, it was time for another impossible journey. Some of the old friends had gathered to celebrate Fogg's daring and lucrative game - and to propose a new bet. The prize for the winner of the contest: $1 million. The goal: to travel to as many North American cities as possible by train - in exactly seven days. The players collect cards of different types of wagons and try to connect different cities by cleverly using the railway lines on the map of North America. The longer the routes, the more points they earn. The player who builds the longest continuous route and fulfills his destination cards by establishing a connection between the specified cities receives additional points. All aboard, please - the train's leaving now.
