The legendary Atlantis is shrouded in so many stories and myths, an island realm that was reputed to have completely drowned in only one night.

Atlantis Exodus presents the player kings with the challenge of rescuing as many citizens as possible before the impending downfall and, by doing so, saving the knowledge they have acquired for a different world and time.

Trekking the World 2nd Edition is a light strategy game where you race to the world’s most fascinating places, draft itineraries, collect souvenirs, and gain powers that combo.

The 2nd edition is a complete mechanical overhaul based on analysis of thousands of online comments about 1st Edition, and our evolving design principles.

We’ve tried to create a game hobbyists AND their families will like. A tough design challenge.

Who It’s For:

Hobbyists who want to entice non-gamer friends and family into playing
Hobbyists who like rules-light games with some hidden strategy
Folks getting into the hobby for the first time
Folks looking for a gift (it feels premium)
Folks who want to turn their 10-and-up kids onto strategy games
Folks who want to learn about cool places in the world, or want their kids to

Who It’s Not For:

Folks who adore 1st Edition (why risk regression to the mean?)
Folks for whom the blocking in 1st Edition is essential - we replaced it with other interactions (but it's easy to house-rule it back in).
Hobbyists who dislike rules-simple games regardless of strategic qualities
