Mapominoes is the game that takes you to the edge of the world – ideal gift for a gap year traveller!
Mapominoes has to be the ultimate geography game.This portable game is fun, easy to learn, educational and highly addictive and makes a great present for anyone interested in geography or travel.
As the names suggests Mapominoes is like dominoes but with maps as you build a map of Africa by connecting countries that share a common border. Stay one step ahead of your opponents as you race to be the first player to play all your country cards on the table and win the game.
Block your opponents by holding on to China or India or open up the Gulf States by playing Saudi Arabia. Take a boat through the Pacific Ocean to Australia or transit by train through Thailand to Malaysia. Try not to get stuck with Singapore or landlocked with Laos as you watch the country cards spread across the table. The excitement builds as you have fewer and fewer cards left to play but less space to play them in as you reach the edge of the world (the table’s edge).
Every country card is different due to their varying border connections and hence no two games are ever the same in this clever game that you will want to play again and again. Mapominoes is a simple game with hidden strategic depth that gives it broad appeal to both children and adults.
Mapominoes is suitable for 2 to 5 players aged 8+.
