Agree a point of departure, usually nearest to where you live. The first player to visit 8 cities or towns in England and Wales and return, wins.

Players are dealt 2 cards of each colour (8 cards in total) with the name and description of a place to visit. If you hold the departure place card and thus have only 7 other places to visit, you must throw a 6 before you can start.

Move by throw of the dice but an exact number is needed to enter a place to visit. Miss a throw if you;
- land at a town or city you don’t need to visit
- land on a red traffic light sign or a dangerous hill sign
Take an extra throw if you land on a green traffic light sign.

View a list of the Geographia series.

Return to the last place visited for repairs, if you land on a collision sign. To cross a ferry, you must throw a 6 then a 2nd throw for the move.
