Trailblazers – The Adventure Takes Shape, One Card at a Time
Get ready to put on your hiking boots, hop on your bike, or hop in your kayak: Trailblazers isn't just about exploring nature... it's about building your own trail! This board game for families and adventurous solo players challenges you to create closed routes through campsites and wild landscapes, playing cards that intertwine into increasingly ambitious strategic loops.
Hiking, biking, kayaking—each card is a piece of your journey, each completed loop earns you an extra point. But be careful: only closed routes really count. Can you complete the loop before the end? And beat the others to reach bonus objectives first?
With drafting, placement, and push-your-luck mechanics , Trailblazers is a fast-paced yet choice-filled game, perfect for light but engaging evenings. And if you're playing solo? There's also a great solo mode , so you can relax while you chart your path to victory.
Why it's a must-have for every tabletop explorer 🏕️
- Fast-paced, tactical gameplay: perfect for 2 to 4 players (but also great for solo play)
- Unique loop mechanic: only closed paths score!
- Draft and layering: every choice influences subsequent turns
- Travel supplies: also available in travel or pocket version
- Extra objectives: Run for bonuses, but don't lose the path
Trailblazers is that game that makes you want to go hiking... even if you're just sitting on the couch. But hey, there's nothing stopping you from playing it next to a real fire. 🐸

🐸 HOW TO PLAY
1. Build your own track with colored tiles
Each turn, you draw colored track tiles and place them in front of you, creating a personal path. The color determines how many spaces you can move your tokens on the path.
2. Move your token according to the colors
Every other turn, move your token along the main track based on the color of the tile you've played. Rarer colors allow for more spaces, so choosing the right track is strategic.
3. Collect resources from checkpoints
Along the way, you'll encounter spaces with resources (wood, stone, etc.). Acquiring them in time will earn you bonus points at the end of the game.
4. Complete personal and community goals
In addition to progress on the track, there are personal objectives (e.g., collecting a certain number of resources) and shared objectives (exploring specific regions). Each one earns extra points if met before the race ends.
5. Whoever reaches the finish line with the most points wins.
The game ends when a piece crosses the finish line. Points are added up for positioning, resources collected, and objectives achieved. The player with the best combination of speed and exploratory strategy wins!
Every map is an adventure. But to win, you also have to go back.
A game for families and solo adventurers who want to get lost… but close the loop.
Trailblazers – Explore. Build trails. Head back to camp (maybe).
Have you ever been lost in the middle of nowhere with only your bike, a backpack, and some paperwork to organize?
In Trailblazers , every card is a path to adventure: whether you're climbing, cycling or paddling, you'll need to create closed loops that start and end at your base camp, without getting lost in the woods .
But be careful: the longer the path, the higher the score... as long as you manage to close it!
With a perfect mix of drafting, card placement, and a pinch of push-your-luck , this game is a little strategic excursion that works well in a group or alone, when you want a breath of fresh air away from the crowded table.
Trailblazers – A puzzle of trails for minds that don't like to sit still
Trailblazers is a board game for 1-4 players (expandable to 8 in the Deluxe editions), designed for those who love building trails, closing routes and challenging their sense of direction in a limited space.
Each round, you draft trail cards to stack or place next to others, with the goal of forming complete loops around hiking, biking, and river campsites.
Whoever manages to close the most loops and complete personal and shared goals wins.
With an immediate learning curve but increasing depth , Trailblazers is perfect for both relaxed evenings and more competitive moments.
The Travel Edition is durable, compact, and ready to go anywhere , from a mountain cabin to a coffee break at the office.
We played it. And we lost our bearings (on purpose)🐸
Trailblazers is the kind of game that makes you say “one more go,” even when you know your trail network just failed you. 🐸
The mechanics are simple, but every choice weighs : where to overlap? Where to risk a longer loop? What if he doesn't return to the field?
We loved it for its portable elegance , its quick yet challenging solo play, and the nerdy satisfaction you get when you complete three paths with a perfectly placed card.
An outdoor puzzle that fits in your pocket but occupies your brain like a real expedition.
