The board shows the German Alps and the villages and cities situated in that area. The different locations are connected by lines.
The players draw a card and place a flag into the according location. In addition they draw cards from every color on the board, which then represents their travel route. Other cards are telegram cards (describing a special occurrence) and pass cards (which are used to travel over mountains).
The players roll a dice and move accordingly. Whoever manages to visit all his locations and returns to his starting point first, wins.
