The board features a stylised map of the world divided into 11 countries. Each country outside the UK has 7 towns/cities of different values. Players collect 1 or 2 town/city tokens from each area. Advantage cards help players or hinder opponents.
On the outward journey, players travel through Europe, Russia, the Far East, Australia, Africa, South America and North America. On arrival in New York, your score is calculated as the total value of tokens less a penalty for areas where all tokens are already taken. On the return journey, players are rewarded for speed of return but can only enter the UK with no more than 3 tokens. Any other tokens must be returned to their original site and thus penalise players’ return speed. A points chart on the game board keeps score. The player with most points wins. The game promoted the Dunlop Worldbeater tyre produced at the Fort Dunlop factory in Birmingham. It was advertised as the tyre that went round the world not once but twice, with tread to spare. The game includes a booklet with colour pictures of the promotional journey around the world. Also included is a letter from the sales promotions manager of Dunlop Ltd. congratulating one of 20 winners of the boardgame in a competition staged at the 1978 Motor Show.
