I'm a grown-up and still very much enjoy this game. I first found it in a game room at a small inn in New Hampshire during my winter vacation. When I got back, I like it so much that I purchased a copy of my own. I like the fact that it can be played from 2 to 6 (maybe up to 8) people. It can also be played with various difficulty levels. When you play, you learn a thing or two or more as much as your memory can hold about world geography. If you're going to spend time playing games, why not choose something that you can learn at the same time. This game will serve you both--fun and knowledge. Highly recommended!!!

This is a great game. I purchased it for my son who loves geography and learning about different countries and cultures but it has turned out to be a game that our whole family loves to play.

I have begun homeschooling this year and was looking for some fun teaching tools. This is a great educational game! This geography game is wonderful for learning about different countries and cultures. We have all enjoyed playing it and have all learned facts that we didn't know before. I would highly recommended this game!

excellent game for learning about the world. My 4,5, and 6 year old can tell you about most parts of the world that I am sure adults do not know.

I give credit to this game.

I was so excited when I found this game! It's just like the one I used to play as a kid years and years ago! I love it! My son does, too, and it's so informative!

This game is fantastic in a family group or for friends; adults, children, or both together. It can be played together by adults and small children or experts and novices, because each player can decide what he is ready to learn. We have played it with kids as young as two years old, and they learned the countries names by the flags and learned to recognise numbers from the size numbers. They loved playing with the group. Where in the World is my favorite game!

We have been looking for a while for a geography board game and thought that we had found it, at least based on the reviews we saw.

We opened the game today, and played with our kids and I thought they were not as interested as they could have been. there might be some use for the cards as they are full of information, but the games I thought were very lame. My kids thought they were pretty boring.

Some major flaws on the game design:

the boards are too small.
the pieces are tiny.

a major mistake:

central america and the caribbean are part of North America!!!!!

I would not recommend this game for anyone.

We own several geography games (Quick Pix Geography, Name that State, Great States, U.S.A. bingo) and this is by far our favorite. My kids (10 and 8) actually ask to play it repeatedly. There are so many different ways to play that it is a real bargain! There is plenty for parents to learn while playing also!

Is a good thing that the boards are separated by continents and allows to focus in different areas, if needed. No discrimination as other games do in terms of including all countries on the world.

We got this game for Christmas. The first time we played, my 9-year-old complained it was too hard. The second time, she beat everyone because she had learned and remembered so much from the first round. The different levels of play mean that different ages can play together, and even once you learn your countries and capitals, you can always test yourself on major religions, languages or populations. Who knew that the major export of Nauru is phosphates or that Mapadungun is one of Chile's major languages? So what does Nauru import (everything but phosphates, maybe)? Buy the game and find out.
