About the game
10 Days in the USA challenges players to plan a ten-day road trip across America using state, car, and airplane tiles. On your turn, you swap a tile from your travel tray for one drawn from the shared piles, gradually building a connected route by foot, car, or air. Bordering states connect on foot, driving links states through a shared neighbor, and same-colored airplane tiles let you skip across the country. The first player to complete a fully connected ten-day itinerary wins.
Hobbli's Notes
10 Days in the USA is a charming, easy-to-teach tile game that sneaks in real geography lessons about state borders and travel routes. It plays quickly and works well for mixed-age groups, since younger players can often hold their own once they get the hang of connections. It's a dependable pick when you want something light, educational, and a little bit different from typical card or dice games.
