Europa

Paris ist ja klar, aber wo liegt Córdoba?

After Minden, Nessebar, Winden and Singapore we are back in Europe – topic of this new edition are cities and landscape in Europe and again we try to pinpoint a location and decide for ourselves how detailed we want to mark the position of the location with our betting 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. Each player has two such exchange tiles.

You bet by placing your cubes; first you place a cube into the eastern or western half of the board, left or right of the vertical white line. This one cube placement must be done; the placement of additional cubes – in given order – is voluntarily. As second cube you can place one into the northern, middle or southern Segment of the board; then you can place a cube for a sector in the chosen segment, identified by numbers, and finally you can bet on one of the squares in the sector. For each correctly placed cube you may advance 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.

Geography for fun, East or West usually is not a problem and then it is up to you how much you know and how much you dare! This is one of the best geography games, if not THE best ever.
