Read the full game description
Each of two players unfolds a U.S. map and spreads half a deck of state cards face up on a table. The timer is then turned over, and each player forms cards into a trail of neighbor states. Scoring is conducted when the sand runs out by totaling the point values of each card and adding a 20 point bonus if the trail stretches from coast-to-coast.
