Discovering Europe (1996)

About this game

From the Manufacturer’s website: Discovering Europe is the fun way to improve your geographical know-how while indulging in a spot of armchair traveling. Each player is dealt a number of City cards at the start and the aim is then to visit every one of those cities. The winner is the one who gets to all of them first. However, things are never simple when you travel and you may well encounter road blocks or be affected by chance. Chance cards can send you in entirely the opposite direction - to Minsk, for example, when you are hoping to get to Dublin - but they can also give you a free airline ticket or allow you to send another player to somewhere like Kishinev. If you're hazy about where exactly Kishinev is, then you certainly need to play Discovering Europe.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 6.
• Rules load. At 2.0/5 this is a mid-weight game — expect a proper rules explanation before you start.
• Age. The publisher suggests 8 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
