An excellent games! Play is card-like in nature - pick up and discard until you have the right sequence of tiles. But there's more strategy than a game of Rummy, because there is no inherent order to the cards - you decide the route and can change directions any time - even your final destination, depending on how the game plays out. While the game is not designed to be educational (there are no quizzes, or even prior knowledge needed to play), our testing parents were impressed by the learning opportunities in this newest release in the "10 Days in..." series of games. If you're not already a geography wiz, the game will definitely reinforce your map memory - in this version, the exact location of North and South American countries.
