Players travel, starting in London, by the playing of maps from place to place to land back in London at the end. They can use either the train or the ship, in some cases even both necessary. Need depending on the number of necessary for distance travel, for one, two or three travel cards are played. Alternatively, there are a balloon and for the stage between Bombay and Calcutta, an elephant available. The lower the value of the played maps, the fewer days consuming the players for the stage. More delays arise from the detective, because this is at the end of your turn on the same field as your own character, you have to time his stone advance two squares. If a player has reached London, increases for the other the pressure of time because they lose now one turn each day and the possible moves are limited. The winner is the player who has taken upon arrival in London few days, which need not be the player who reaches first London.
