Each participant starts out with $600 and must raise their personal fund by drawing playing cards that result in profits or hinder competitors by making them shell out additional fees for things like disobeying the speed limit. In the same vein as the GameDirection card game, Route 66 Das Kartenspiel takes you on a Route 66 road trip from Chicago to Los Angeles, but this time the goal centers on players earning the most money. Created by designer Wolfgang Riedesser in 1993, this German-language game was produced by the mouthful of a playing card company, ASS Altenburger Spielkarten. This card game originated for the purpose of entertaining audiences overseas with popular American imagery. This interactive piece intertwines classic elements of various games and unties them under a Mother Road themed package.Īdvertisement Route 66 Das Kartenspiel - Card Game As players travel west over the multicolored map via a road with cartoonish bends, they land on various “challenge spots,” which involve solving true/false questions, drawing pictures, and answering trivia. Players begin in the Big Apple then move down I-80 to Chicago where they hop on Route 66 and take it all the way to Los Angeles. Released by Endless Games in 2002, this engaging board game also takes participants along the scenic highway, but has a different start location, New York. Route 66: The Great American Road Trip Game Within this lesson, Route 66 implicitly demonstrates how the Mother Road’s inspiration can generate a sense of poetry around something as simple as a card game. Whether intentional or not, this interpretation of “winning” conveys a subtle yet meaningful lesson about the value of a road trip filled with moments of connection and bonding.
The winner is the player with the most points, which in other words means that the one who experiences the most of what Route 66 has to offer wins. After each player finishes their road trip, the game is over and individual Experience points are counted up. Real-life road trip experiences were not spared in this game: Gameplay includes the use of “Weather” cards, which determine how favorable the conditions are on a player’s journey whether it be sunny or stormy, this clever addition introduces an element of chance to the game. These stops fall under specific categories such as gas station, hotel, and restaurant-all while incorporating various landmarks like the Route 66 Last Stop Shop in Santa Monica, California. The game utilizes little plastic cars to indicate each player along a “board” made from cards that list out the different locations they will visit on their simulated Route 66 road trip. The goal is to earn “Experience points”, that players obtain through the food they try and the places they visit while playing. Published by GameDirection in April of 2019, this board game is a multiplayer game that takes each participant on a journey down the Mother Road from Chicago to Los Angeles.
