Singapur, wo liegt das nur?

We have located Minden, and also Nessebar and Winden, and now we are looking for Singapore. In this third edition of the geography spotting game we now search for cities, landmarks and regions all over the world and try to pinpoint the location as exactly as we can; but is is up to ourselves how exactly we want to put down tips for the location using our cubes.

One round comprises laying out, selecting and maybe exchanging of cards, the placement/tip phase and evaluation. For each player a location card is displayed, query side up. In turn of the position on the scoring track (in round 1 the starting player begins and then you continue clockwise) each player chooses a location card. If you want, you can use one of your two exchange tiles and draw a new card. Now all bet on the location and first mark the continent. This selection one has to do, every other one is left to your discretion. If you want to continue, you first choose West, Middle or East of the continent and then North, Middle or South of the continent (each continent has nine quadrants, so to say) and finally you can choose one of the four squares in the quadrant. For each correctly placed tip/bet you can advance your marker one step.  But if only one of the bets is wrong, you do not move your marker at all. Depending on the number of correctly placed cubes you keep cards for the final scoring.

Very rarely there are several solutions, when the location is too close to a separation line of the continent boards.

Geography for fun, the continent is mostly easy to choose and then it is up to you what you know or want to risk. An absolutely fantastic game mechanism!
