Everything about The World Game has a buoyantly playful feel that hints at the fun to come and the abundant geographical knowledge waiting to be gleaned and shared. Players race to be first to make it around the board/world, but whether they actually get to be the one to move on any given turn hinges on their ability to make clever choices. Key to these outcomes is a 194-card deck of country cards, each of which displays the name, flag and 5 key facts about a different country. The player whose turn it is can choose to compete based on one of the 5 facts on each player's card (I think my country's population is larger than yours!) or can instead request a challenge in which another player poses a geographical question to be answered. Further spicing up the game play are 10 different kinds of Action cards players might unleash at a moment's notice that have the power to undercut opponents' progress. This fantastic 2-to-5 player board game moves at a delightfully crisp pace and plays exceedingly well across a broad range of ages, making it a game the entire family can enjoy!
