Underdog Games Trekking Through History: The Award-Winning Family Board Game | Great for Kids Ages 10 and Up & No History Knowledge Needed | Easy to Learn & Fun for Family Game Night | Designed

My wife and I love to play complex board games as we do enjoy the puzzling aspect and how it stimulates our brain into thinking about how to be efficient. This game is not something we would think of playing, but I personally purchase this for a couple of reasons. First, we do like Trekking The World as it reminds us of several other games we like, combine into one. So we decided to pick this up expecting it won't disappoint. And second, we need more welcoming games and we could pull out in case our family members wished to play.We played this game more than 5x now as it becomes my niece's favorite. She was not a board gamer but she enjoys the puzzle aspect of the game, especially in fulfilling your itinerary. This is not the game my wife and I would think of playing together, but I rated this as a 5-star as it really delivers as a family (lightweight) game. That even non-gamers or casual gamers would enjoy and would make them more interested in discovering what board gaming has to offer.Component-wise, I personally am so fascinated with the production quality. This was the first board game I had with a neoprene mat, and best of all, it does have a functional insert to store the components. Hand's down a top-notch production. I wish this would be the norm for all board games.Again, as a heavy gamer, though not the game I would always prefer playing, I'd still highly recommend this for families who want to play something fast, and simple yet offers a good amount of decision space.

I read reviews that this was the best of the Trekking series so I got this first. The cards are great quality. The playing board is a mat that gets rolled up and put a away. weird at first but I like it. I did learn some things playing the game. There are notes on the cards that can be read. A fell in love with the mechanic of moving less means I could go again and possible a better card appear. It has some elements of 7 wonders game. This is several family members favorite game. I have to be careful not to overplay it and make others hate it.

I have always been interested in the Trekking games by Underdog games, but they looked too much like Ticket to Ride. Trekking Through History, however, was different enough for us to try it. We are a math/science family, but this game was still a huge hit for us. We the game was easy to understand and it felt great when you could achieve a long timeline of events or complete longer lines on your sheet for bonus points. The artwork is fantastic and the facts about the events on the back were interesting to read. It also plays super quickly (under an hour tops) and has interesting decisions and tension along the way. Definitely a recommended game from us!

What gorgeous production quality! Comes across as a Kickstarter with a lovely insert and pieces.Do not shy away from Trekking Through History if you did not like the other games in this series -- Trekking the World. This one plays very differently. I actually didn't love Trekking the World and was very wary of picking this one up. I am glad I went ahead and tried it, though! Very strategic. Of course, luck does play a part in what cards come into the market, but it is mostly manageable. Had fun playing with my husband and I plan to take it to the game group next time we meet.

Very quick to play and easy to learn. A good addition to the other Trekking games.

This game was so much fun and will be played many more times. I love that it also included solo rules and expansion rules. I also appreciate that the box was designed for all the parts to fit securely in their own slots. It’s probably the best designed box I’ve ever encountered.

Honestly quite fun! This is a great game for game nights with family and friends.It doesn't rely on history knowledge so much, on the contrary, it actually helps you learn and even provides fun facts. Pretty good, not too hard to learn

Does not require history knowledge to play. It is strategy and draw of the cards. To learn history you will need to read the cards which is not a requirement for the game. The artistry is nice. I like that you can change the length of the game. It is only up to a 4 player game.
