How To Play Trailblazers

Trailblazers challenges players to compete for the highest score by constructing hiking, biking, and kayaking loops from their corresponding campgrounds. In each round, players receive eight trail cards, from which they draft two, strategically arranging them in their designated area before passing their hand to the next player multiple times. Cards must be placed adjacent to or overlapping with existing ones. While players can aim for lengthy and intricate trails, only closed loops starting and ending at a matching campground will earn points.

Additionally, players vie to achieve "First To" and "End Game" goal cards. After four rounds, the game concludes, and the player with the most points from closed loops and goal cards emerges victorious. Thanks to simultaneous gameplay, there's no downtime between turns—players assess their cards, choose two to incorporate into their trails, and continue building, ensuring an engaging experience for all in a brisk 30-minute duration. Competing to fulfill goal cards adds an extra layer of challenge, with those achieving them most effectively reaping additional rewards. Hit the trail with Trailblazers and play it today.
