About the game
A quiz and guessing game - Figure out which European country is hiding behind the placeholder “Umtata”. Submit your guesses and earn points. The first player to earn 16 points wins. What is going on in Umtata? While some are producing more cell phones than you can shake a stick at, others are carrying bails of hay in their trunks. And the national defence corps has less members than the country’s national orchestra. Really! But can you guess which European country Umtata is? And where is it? Northern Europe? In the South, East or West? Any ideas? Then quickly give your answer! To win, you don’t necessarily have to be a connoisseur of European culture and history, good intuition, a bit of luck and a proclivity for bizarre facts and events are enough for a glorious victory.
