Turns are taken simultaneously as players chart their own course racing to discover new worlds. Player share a pool of dice to enlist a companion with variable powers to help them. When a player visits the last town on their board, the game ends immediately. The goal is visit all the cities on your map and fill up as many spaces on your board to score the most points. Total points are based on the number of towns you visit, the treasure you discover, and the number of monsters you encounter. —description from the publisher
