ABSTRACT:
A board game apparatus designed to guide and educate the players about geography in a particular region, on a particular continent, or of the world itself. The apparatus includes a board comprising at least one map bearing the geographical indicia characterizing separate locations to be depicted and identified. The separate locations are each distinguishable by a color and a number. A trail forms a closed loop around the map. The trail is divided into a plurality of spaces. Each space is also distinguishably colored and numbered to correspond to a separate location on the map. There is a plurality of playing cards one for each separate location containing identifying information about these locations to include the location's name, and the name of that location's capital city on one side, and a colored and numbered map of the location on the other side of that card. Players move their tokens along the trail according to a spinner. Upon landing on a colored and numbered space, each player is authorized to name the corresponding location, it's capital, and answer questions supplied through random selection of a card bearing a question on one side, and an answer to that question on the other side of that card. A third set of cards is to be awarded to players upon their proper identification of a capital city.
The winner is the person who has collected the greatest number of points through identification of locations, their capitals, and responding correctly to the question cards.
