Fantastic and fun way to learn countriesMar 21, 2010
This is the third game we have bought in this series and they are all wonderful! As homeschoolers, we're always looking for ways to make learning fun. I wanted a geography game that wasn't trivia based, but instead allowed kids to learn geography by regular fun exposure (like Great States Jr., etc.), and these games fit the bill perfectly. We changed the rules slightly (like any discarded card is fair game, instead of just the top card on three discard piles), and we play somewhat cooperatively so that everyone finishes at about the same time. Also, after having Europe and Asia, we were disappointed there were no ocean cards, so we added stickers to the "car" cards so they could function as cards for specific oceans as well. The way we play it, our six year old is even better at making journeys than the adults are (so forget about the recommended age of 10 and up) and each round usually takes less than 10 minutes. I can't recommend these games more highly.

Lots of fun and educational for all agesFeb 23, 2010
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 gameFeb 05, 2010
Fun, educational, what more do you want? We modified the rules slightly so my 7 year old can play with our 10 year old and us but we all love it and have a much better idea of the geography of Africa now.

Hours of FunJan 22, 2010
My whole family loves this game. Originally purchased for my son, my college aged-daughter and her friends played it until the wee hours of the morning. My husband and I play on a regular basis.
Ten Days in Africa is educational but above all it is fun. Strategy is the key to winning the game and maybe a little luck too. Every game is different. The only drawback is only four can play at a time, but there aren't a huge number of countries in Afica to support more than four players anyway.
We enjoy this game so much that we are buying the 10 days in Asia and my daughter who is studying Modern Europe wants the 10 days in Europe game.
Love the 10 Days gamesJul 21, 2009
I am a mom who pushes educational games on my family. With 10 Days in Africa (and 10 Days in Europe) kids are having so much fun they hardly realize the geography lesson in the background. Just finished 4 games in a row. It's easy enough for our six year old to team up and really participate, and for the eight and up kids to play against parents with a good chance of winning. My kids are asking for 10 Days in Asia next.
