October 2 1872 Phileas Fogg is asserting that it’s possible to go around the world in 80 days The gentlemen of the Reform Club have made a bet on his failure since they don’t believe this eccentric dandy could ever succeed! However the most troubling part of this story is the strange coincidence between the rash departure of Phileas Fogg accompanied by his loyal valet Passepartout & the theft of 50000 pounds from the Bank of England! The first lady or gentleman to return to London wins the game However since you left the British capital suspected of stealing from Her Majesty’s bank you will have to return to London without any Rumor cards & 10£ or less in your pocket (or rather in your hand) in order to prove your innocence in the eyes of the world! Players will quickly discover that moving too fast drains their wallet just as fast To win you will have to alternate between cautious & ambitious advances waiting for the right moment to return to the city!
