Complete the puzzle - then play the game! The completed jigsaw puzzle makes a board game for 2 to 4 players based on the story of Nellie Bly - a 25-year-old journalist who set sail from New York in 1889 in an attempt to circumnavigate the globe in less than 80 days. Traveling by ship, train, rickshaw, sampan, horse, camel, and burro, she returned to a cheering crowd in under seventy-three days. Bly's stories about the people and lands she encountered en route were published in The New York World. Touted as the most famous woman on Earth as a result of this adventure, Nellie Bly was an inspiration to women during an era when marriage or a menial job was considered their only appropriate option.
