The World Game: Board Game is a board game released in 2020 for 2–5 players, 30–60 minutes per game, and ages 7 and up.
Race around the world, pass famous landmarks, learn about countries, recognize flags and find locations on the map. Spend quality time with your family and friends. Answer questions like: Can you recognize the flag of Chile? What is the capital of India? Can you show Sweden on the map? Steal cards with a pirate attack, send players back with a tsunami, freeze them with a snow storm and so much more! Packed with action, knowledge and endless fun! GAMEPLAY: The game's objective is to be the first player to finish the race around the world and cross the finish line. You move forward by winning with strong country facts or by answering geography challenges correctly. Every turn each player draws a card from the country card pile. When it’s your turn, roll one dice. Then you have to choose between 2 options. Calling out a fact or a challenge. FACT Pick a fact you believe is the strongest one and try to beat other players. But be careful, if you lose someone else will move forward. CHALLENGE Yell challenge! The player to your left will challenge you with recognizing the flag, or finding a country on the map. If you decide on the hard challenge, you can even guess the capital city of a country. If you are playing with kids, they can guess the continent of a country. If you answer wrong, the next player gets a chance. If everyone answers wrong, the challenger moves forward.
