MEET THE DESIGNER:

Thomas Dagenais-Lespérance

Thomas Dagenais-Lespérance found inspiration from his own travels, including when he found himself in the cities of Word Traveler where he only had symbols or a few words to ask for help or directions. You’ll get to see some of the early versions of the game in the designer diaries releasing on BGG.

In the spirit of Travel, we asked Thomas an important question – where does he hope to travel that he hasn’t yet visited? The question came with many answers – “Korea, Morocco, Spain, Argentina, Iceland, Turkey, Poland… Too many to count!”

Learn to play the game!

Overall, Word Traveler is a fun addition to any casual game shelf, and it’s not at all bad to ignite interest in travel among your pre-teen kids either!

Nerdly

Word Traveler is a nice party game that lets players explore a few different cities during their game night. A nice way to involve people in a game, have some lively discussion and perhaps even some reminiscing about travels to far away cities.

Opinionated Gamers

Word Traveler is a fun association party game. The material is really nicely designed with the passports and the wooden figures, but I also liked the 2 game boards, each with 2 different cities.
