In SokkoTuristi, players embark on a tactile travel adventure where only their sense of touch will guide them. As vacationers packing for their trips, players must identify and collect items for their suitcase without looking, relying solely on their memory, intuition, and a bit of playful deception.
Each player begins with a bag containing 15 wooden items and a suitcase. During the game, players draw cards naming various travel-themed objects, such as an anchor, flamingo, or ukulele. If an object is mentioned for the second time, players must search for it by touch alone and "pack" it into their suitcase. Strategic bluffing is encouraged to mislead others and protect your own selections.
The game continues until one player successfully packs seven items. Correctly chosen objects will earn points, while forgotten or incorrect items will loose you points. For an added challenge, the tournament mode tests players’ recall across multiple rounds.
SokkoTuristi invites blind and visually impaired players to enjoy a tactile-first experience, while giving sighted players the rare challenge of playing without vision—an "eye-opening" shift in perspective.
