Remember Our Trip is a board game in which players create a map of a city they have visited together. After returning to your home country, you and the other players have come together to try to summon the map of Kyoto or Singapore (depending on which game board you choose). You must piece together the map's landscape using fragments of your memories, earning bonus points if your memory matches that of the motherboard and other players. In the game, each player has an individual image board, while everyone shares a common card board. Each of the game's twelve rounds begins with the unveiling of a "memory card", which shows one of six patterns that players can build on their image board using image tokens they draw up. Over several rounds, you collect image tokens side by side, and when you have the right tokens in the right shape, you suddenly "remember" the building that matches the shape and image, placing that building on the shared common card and scoring points. You can additionally score points for completing buildings with picture tokens that correspond to buildings that others have memorized, i.e., that they have previously placed on the common board. You remember that building now too! Each player also has objective cards and photo memory cards, and you can score points by satisfying them. If you can't fit all your image fragments into the game, you'll lose points for scattered thoughts. For more difficult play, you can use the 7x6 area on the Kyoto or Singapore game board instead of the normal 7x7 area.
