Pékin-Paris 1907

"Is there anyone willing to undertake a journey this summer from Beijing to Paris by automobile?" Five daring crews with their cars left Peking for Paris on June 10th, 1907, to take up this incredible challenge: a 10,000 miles long trip over trails and mule tracks, across the mountains of China, the Gobi Desert, and the Russian steppes. Pékin-Paris is a card-driven boardgame for 2-4 players that puts you behind the steering wheel of a vintage car, starting your trip with very limited resources. In this fast deck-building game you will use your resources and coins to get new cards, record occurring events, improve your vehicle's capabilities and draw a route through the wilderness. The driver with the most VPs at the end of the race is the winner. —description from the designer
