The Travel Edition of Trailblazers by Bitewing Games
contains the base game of Trailblazers plus tokens and instructions
for the Animal Expansion and Epic Solo Mode. Differences between these editions
include that the travel edition is for 1-4 players while the standard edition
is for 1-8 players, and thus comes with 179 trail cards rather than the
standard 270. The standard edition contains wooden tokens for the Animals
Expansion and includes the Adventurers Expansion. The travel edition is designed
to be taken with you on vacations, weekend trips, or day trips, and thus
includes a clamshell case and carabiner to make it more portable.
Whether you choose the standard edition, travel edition, or
both, this challenging tile-laying outdoor adventure game will provide many
hours of entertainment wherever you play! ~ Marsha
Publisher's Description of Trailblazers Game (Travel Edition)
Trailblazers is a simultaneous drafting, route-building game where
players construct their own network of hiking, biking, and kayaking
trails. Trail cards can even be overlapped, giving you the freedom to
blaze routes however you please. Just be careful not to push-your-luck
too far… only trails that loop back to camp will score points!
The Travel Edition of Trailblazers contains the base game for 1-4
players plus punchboard tokens for the Animal Expansion and Epic Solo
Mode. All of this fits inside the included clamshell case which can be
clipped onto your bag with the included sturdy carabiner.
