Lots of fun and educational for all agesFeb 23, 2010
By K. Paris
"momslibrary"
Wow! My 9 year old learned the locations of every major country in Africa within a week of getting this game! The whole family loves it, including grandma (and teens, who are often harder to please). It does not cover some of the smaller African nations. But for learning where places like Eritrea and Togo are, it's not only a painless geography lesson, it's great fun. It's also sturdy, with no small pieces to lose (except the cards, which are thick and substantial, so they don't get lost easily. The game is also very easy to learn, so guests can join in right away. And games don't last long, so it's a great one to pull out when you only have 20 minutes.

great game for all agesNov 06, 2007
By Fran Garcia
10 Days in Africa is a terrific game for all ages - I have played it with people from 9 to 66 years old and every age in between and everyone can enjoy it. It's also a great way to learn the geography of Africa. We changed 1 rule and it works better. Our rule: When you start the game,you have to place the cards in your tray in the order in which you pick them up. I also tried 10 Days in Europe but the game does not work as well with that continent. I want to try 10 Days in US soon.

Ten days in Africa- Great for family and FriendsNov 20, 2004
By T. H. Hogan

Our 8 year old had been studying Geography and specifically the continent of Africa. When I found this game last christmas I was excited and thought that we would get a few good hours of play out of it. The family plays still it often, there is not a boredom factor that inhibits the enjoyment and we have been known to play three games in a row at one sitting. We have all gotten more familiar with the continent as we plan our trips for ten day in Africa.

Simplified Rules for faster play/younger playersAug 21, 2010
By Jennifer Fowler
A couple of my younger children were having trouble with this game, so we modified the rules a little.
As usual, each player will select 10 random tiles and place them in the tile holder. The order will not matter in this game, it just lets the player see the tiles without showing other players.
The rest of the cards are placed in a pile face down, the top card is drawn and placed face up as the play pile. On a player's turn he/she may do one of the following: play any country of the same color, play an airplane of the same color (which may be followed by a country of the same color, for the potential of playing two cards on that turn), play any country touching that country, play any country whose capital starts with the same letter as the capital of the country being played on, OR play an automobile followed by any country of the person's choice (basically a wild card). Players may NOT play an airplane of a different color off of another airplane. If a player is unable to do any of these, he/she must draw a card.
The winner is the first player to get rid of all their cards, or the person with the least number of cards if all the draw cards are gone and no more plays can be made.
Either with these rules or the original, a great way to recognize the countries in Africa.

Great Game!Nov 19, 2008
By E. L. Nelson
I bought this game for a family birthday. We've played it over and over! To make it more challenging, have each player draw one tile (must be for a country) at random and place it in a designated location on the card holder. The player then cannot trade the card during the game and must use it in the position it was set. We've played the set card as the first card, the last card, and one of the middle cards. For older players, it's an especially good rule to increase the difficulty when playing with only 2 players. Overall we've really enjoyed this game! I bought 10 days in Asia for a friend for Christmas. Can't wait to play that one too!
