🌴 Turn Paradise into Profit

Tourist Trap is a satirical strategy hybrid euro board game where players turn paradise into profit by building the worst tourist attractions imaginable, hiring questionable staff, upgrading traps and overcharging tourists.

😬 Control the Chaos

The island grows as you play. Place route tiles to build the map, secretly bid to redirect the island’s only tour bus, and outmaneuver rivals in a shared economy where every choice affects everyone.

🔥 Get Rich or Get Burned

You have 5 turns to squeeze as much profit out of your visitors. Manipulate trends, invest in opponents, survive bad reviews, and adapt when chaos hits. When the final tour ends, the player with the most money wins.
