You have to travel to all 50 countries in Asia [or 48, or whatever it is exactly]. You cannot set foot in the same country more than once.
You have 100 credits. You get 1 credit each time you cross a land border. You lose 2 credits each time you have to catch a plane/ship [to avoid revisiting a country].
You must start from a different country from the ones selected by the players who started before you.
Describe your travel involving visits to just FOUR countries at a time in a succession of posts.
