Journey around the world in eighty days The time-honoured Game of the Goose is adapted here from Jules Verne's popular novel Journey around the world in 80 days. For a wager at his London Reform Club, gentleman Phileas Fogg (10) travels eastwards around the world (see map) with his French servant Passepartout (20), overcoming various setbacks. This game marks the transition from unpredictable expeditions to hectic global tourism.
