Description

As a give-away in the seventies, private customers of the insurance company DEVK received a free copy of the game "Der Ferien Express" (the holiday express), probably as a summer gift for the kids.

It is a simple Roll and Move game, with a gambling component.
Players have to supply their own player-tokens, coins, and a die. Only the board game field was given away.

Players roll a die which indicates how far they are allowed to move down the 42 field track trough Europe. If he lands in a black city (Copenhagen, Cadiz, Bern, Athens) the player has to pause for a round and has to pay a coin into the pot (as a hotel fee). If the player lands on a red City (Berlin, London, Paris, Madrid, Venice) he has to pause for a round, but has the chance to take a shortcut when rolling a one on a D6. If he is allowed to take the short cut (express line) he must pay two coins into the pot.

The first player who is back in Berlin receives half the pot, the second and third divide the rest.
