You will need a HiveAuth-compatible app, such as KeyChain.

Quickstart

First, log in using a HiveAuth app (such as KeyChain). Then press the "Go Match" button to begin.

You are assigned an opponent - another player or one of Near/Far Travel's employees.
Then, you are shown five destinations. Select three destinations to build an itinerary and then press "Go". Note the countdown, so move quickly.
Your and your opponent's itineraries are compared for popularity by the tourists.

TIP: The tourists appear to be primarily affected by colour.

You can see what destinations are detected in your reality using the Inventory button.

You might notice a bar appearing on the right side of your destinations. As destinations are selected, they become less appealing due to over-tourism. Eventually, a destination can become so over-touristed that it is temporarily disabled. Over-tourism fades over time.

You can also purchase an over-tourism reset from the Shop.

Thank you

Thank you for playing this early-stage game. There will be more in future.
