The object of the game is to collect a set of route cards between New York City and San Francisco. So going from east to west the set would be New York, Cleveland, Omaha, Salt Lake City, and San Fransisco. A player can play a "Motor Trouble" or a "Land For Gas" card on his opponent's stack to force the other player to play a "Take Off" before he can resume his route. The 32 cards are New York (4), Cleveland (4), Omaha (4), Salt Lake City (4), and San Francisco (4). In addition there are 6 "Take Off" cards, 2 "Motor Trouble" cards, and 4 "Land for Gas" cards.
