📖 About This Game
In Timeless Journeys: The Italian Grand Tour you step into the shoes of Europe’s first true tourists. In the 18th and 19th centuries, curious minds crossed Italy in search of art, history, and inspiration, a rite of passage that shaped their legacy. From Turin to Palermo you will explore cities, debate in cafés, and fill your Travel Journals with discoveries that turn fleeting impressions into lasting achievements.
At its heart, the game blends deck building, card chaining, set collection, and route planning. Travel, Friendship, and Inspiration cards let you journey across Italy, meet locals, gather ideas, and commit them to your Journals. Playing cards of the same type reactivates earlier actions in powerful chains, while the shared market of Advanced Action cards expands your strategy.
Your encounters with celebrated travelers such as Lord Byron, Mary Shelley, Mark Twain, and Charles Dickens unlock memorable abilities and new scoring paths. Chart your route, forge connections, and let your legacy unfold in Timeless Journeys: The Italian Grand Tour.
