Boarding pass:

The boarding pass allows you to assign points to different combinations, for example:

• 6 elements from 6 different colors
• 3 sets of 2 elements from the same category
• 1 element from each world region

You can also create your own combinations and assign points at the start of the game.

• The game ends when a player collects 6 elements. All other players get one final turn. Then count points using the boarding pass. The player with the most points wins.
• Limit the number of markers per player. For example, each player starts with 6 markers. You can only collect an element if you still have a marker. This makes the game more strategic.
• Play using the point system only. Decide beforehand how many “journeys” (rounds) you will play, then count points at the end.
• Educational version: players must share a fact about the element or country before they can collect it.
• Team version: play in teams of 2 and collect elements together.
