The game consisted of Travel Tickets, Traveller&#8217;s Cheques, Location Cards, &#8216;Risk&#8217; Cards, &#8216;Luck&#8217; Cards.<\/p>\n<p>The purpose of the game is to start your journey from London and journey around the world, collecting souvenirs from different countries, and return to London before your opponents do. The game has a real nostalgic feel as much of the international traveling and graphics look beautifully dated and ooze a vintage sixties feel to it all.<\/p>\n<p>It seems that this Travel board game has almost disappeared out of existence unlike the Chinese game of go.<\/p>\n<!--CusAds0-->\n<div style=\"font-size: 0px; height: 0px; line-height: 0px; margin: 0; padding: 0; clear: both;\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<a href=\"http:\/\/www.skooldays.com\/blog\/the-game-of-go\/\"><img width=\"125\" height=\"99\" src=\"http:\/\/www.skooldays.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/travel-game-go-160x127.jpg\" class=\"alignright tfe wp-post-image\" alt=\"The Board Game of GO\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.skooldays.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/travel-game-go-160x127.jpg 160w, http:\/\/www.skooldays.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/travel-game-go-300x238.jpg 300w, http:\/\/www.skooldays.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/travel-game-go-377x300.jpg 377w, http:\/\/www.skooldays.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/travel-game-go.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 125px) 100vw, 125px\" \/><\/a><p>The Board Game of GO One of the few times I&#8217;ve been thoroughly confused was the time a friend invited me round for an afternoon of playing Go.
