Objective:

Be the first to pilot your Weather Airship from San Francisco, California, USA, all the way around the world and back across the USA to Miami, Florida.

Ways to Play:

You can play against the computer by choosing 1 player, or against your friends by choosing 2 or more players.

If you play against the computer, pick whether you want the computer to be an easy, medium, or hard opponent.

How to Play:

After picking the number of players, you will take turns picking a name and color for your Weather Airship. The computer will randomly choose who goes first. Then the game begins. Each player in turn will start by spinning the spinner. Your airship will move the number of spaces shown on the spinner, and, depending on what kind of space you land on, an event will occur:

• Yellow Markers

You answer a question. Select easy, medium, or hard. A correct answer to an easy question moves you ahead one space, for a medium question two spaces, and for a hard question three spaces. If you answer wrong, you do not get to move ahead, and your turn is over.

Hint: You may want to look at a map for some questions. Click on the words "Reference Map" at the top of the game. When you have found the answer on the map, click "Back to game."

• Red Marker

You have a special adventure. Your airship will move forward or backward, depending on how the adventure turns out. If the adventure lands you on a yellow space, you may not answer another question. Your turn is over.

• Blue Marker

If your last spin was an even number, you move ahead one space on the main route. If your last spin was an odd number, you move ahead one space on the alternate route. If you land on a yellow space you answer a question. If you land on a red space, you get an adventure. The alternate routes join the main route further ahead on the path.

How to Win

The first person to reach the Finish point, regardless of what you spun last, is the winner.
