Adventure cards with a brown border can be acquired only in the south and must be delivered to the north, while white-bordered adventure cards take the opposite route. Five expedition cards – each showing the starting and ending location and a reward for completing the expedition – are laid face-up on the game board.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach player has one researcher token that will travel around the board, and on a turn a player takes one of three possible actions:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDraw two travel cards.

Each player has a joker in hand, which will be retained at the end of each turn. If a player moves onto the start space of an expedition, he can mark that expedition card with a marker; if he reaches the destination for an expedition he's on, he receives the reward depicted and claims the card, while anyone else on the expedition receives nothing. A new expedition card is then revealed.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen a player reaches the destination shown on an adventure card, that player scores that card by placing it under his player mat. Some cards show helpers, which are represented by helper cards in a player's hand. These cards allow travel on the color shown on the card and return to the player's hand after use, but a player who employs many helps will lose points at the end of the game.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOnce the expedition cards run out, the game ends and players score for the expeditions they completed, sets of identical and different adventure cards, money in hand, and a few other things.
