Game based upon the legendary, 72-day trip around the world accomplished by 25-year-old Elizabeth Cochrane (aka Nellie Bly) in 1889/90, a feminist reporter for the New York World. Her feat, inspired by the fictional trip in Jules Verne's Around the World in 80 Days, created a media sensation, and many considered her to be the most famous woman in the world. Her trip also brought new interest to the Verne's novel.
Players spin a spinner, which dictates the number of spaces forward (around the world) they must move. Landing on certain spaces might cause them to move forward or backward, speeding them along or hindering them in their journey.
