Fun Family Game
Posted 6/5/2008 by D. S.
Rating: 
Our family has enjoyed this game for many months. It is very similar to Racko, only with geography instead of numbers. Our children have learned the location of countries, a few strategies, and the importance of remembering what was played previously. This game does not require intense strategizing. There is some luck involved. It takes approximately 20 to 30 minutes to play. A good choice for game nights.

Give it a few tries

Setting: Home
It took us a few rounds to figure out the strategy of the game, but the rules are clear and once we understood the logistics we were able to enjoy ourselves. Our six-year-old needs some help, but is catching on and is also learning about where he'll be living next year.

At first I didnt think I was going to like the game and it was going to be difficult to catch on, but the game is very easy to learn and tons of fun! We play it a few times a day and it never gets old. It freshens you up on your geography! A really GREAT game!

This is an enjoyable game that gets you thinking. The best part is that it helps you orient yourselves with European countries. I play it with my kids. They are learning their countries fast! Can't say enough good about it.

Fun family game
Posted 26 days ago by Hjordes Norman

We're enjoying this as a family game, ages 12-adult. It's just challenging enough to keep you thinking, yet not so difficult that you lose interest. The play-time is just right for us - about 15 minutes. The board itself is lovely, and the game is well put together, as are all Fat Brain toys.
This is definately the best geography game we've tried for something that doesn't take any set-up and plays quickly (we love the Carmen Santiago games, but they take more time to play.) Looking forward to trying Africa!
My 4 Year Old Loves This Game

As soon as this game arrived at our house, the kids demanded to play it. We are still mastering the art of graceful competitiveness. We played a non-competitive version of the game - just planning trips together and having fun locating countries. My 4 year old thought it was so cool that there is a country called "Yummy" (a.k.a. Hungary) and one called "Chicken" (Turkey)! Ahh, at least he knows they exist. He wants to travel to Spain and then Portugal some day. We can't wait to play 10 Days Across the U.S.A.
fun for everyone!

This is a game I can play with my friends and family or just with my husband. It is also a fun way I can teach geography to the older children I work with. The directions are easy to follow.
Excellent

This game is excellent. My boyfriend and I love playing it. It really helps me to remember my European geography and is challenging. I plan on bringing it to my class for my students to play when reviewing the geography of Europe.

I bought this to help my children learn geography. I thought I would have to bribe them with popcorn to play it. Not so! They ask to play this game. They are learning the countries of Europe as they play. It is not boring. I enjoy playing it with them. A fun game. Product is sturdy and well made. My only complaint is the game is for 4 people max. I think if you had more people, you could play as teams. We love seeing how the other players made their trip. It reinforces the learning of the countries.

Seems like a fun and educational game. We do a lot of European travel and I thought this might help the kids appreciate the scheduling issues we've run into on occasion.
Not As Fun As I Expected

This game is okay. Not my favorite. Has high quality (unbendable) cards inside. You basically pick 10 cards (country and transportation cards) and need to make sure all the countries or transportation modes are connected properly. It's really an individual game that you play in a group, with little interaction. There's more luck involved than I thought, making it not so interesting to play. I expected it to be more interactive and more strategy-oriented. It's like solving a puzzle and you have to solve it before your opponents do. The kids like it more than I do, but I still play it with them. Our family (with 3 kids) was just in Italy so I thought it would be a good way to relive our adventure, but I guess I expected too much.
A Great Game for Two

Excellent game. A nice addition to the "10 Days" line. The switch from cars to boats completely changes the strategy, so it's not just a different map on which to play the same game. All these games are great two-player games. The play is quick and easy to learn, but it stays interesting because the strategy is quite complex.
Very Good, Not Great, Game

Our 16 year old complains of an unsatisfactory climax when one wins, "So whoopee, you're done." I've played it only once with the family. (The others have played it several times.) I like the combination of strategy and luck. I look forward to taking it to school and playing it with my tenth grade advisory group. The game is quickly picked up, short enough to be played in a 30-minute period, and has an amiably competitive element that will appeal to teens.

Great game! My children (ages 10-16), my husband, and I have all enjoyed it. It requires more logic than geographical knowledge. I personally wish there was more educational information on each of the countries. That being said, however, the game will remain a challenging and fun favorite for a long time.

Ten Days in Europe

This is a really interesting game. After watching one or two rounds of play, my 7 year old son was able to pick up the game and enjoy it a great deal. This is an unusual game in which there is less competition and more individual play involved than in many board games. It is also a board game in which the board itself is merely a reference rather than a playing surface. I like this game a lot. I think it is already teaching my children lots of geography!

My kids love the 10 Days series. This one completes their set. They get very competitive and strategic - and I love that they are learning geography. When they hear about world events, they have some sense of where the events are occurring thanks to these games.
10 Days...Game Series Is Great!

We have 10 Days in Africa, and play it regularly as a family. It's a game that can give you 1 or 2 - 15 minute rounds in the evening, and is a lot of fun for all of us (8 yrs, 12 yrs, 2 adults). It really has made a difference in learning political geography. We hope to do the same with Europe. We gave it a trial run when we first got it, but discovered during play that we were missing some playing tiles (and had duplicates of others). The company got back to us in 24 hrs by email, to send us our new tiles. Despite the foreshortened attempt at playing it, it was still a lot of fun. I can see it will really help nail down the layout of Eastern Europe in our heads. Also, it has a different routing concept than Africa (ferries instead of vehicles), and given the amount of European shoreline, makes for a different thinking strategy when playing (as compared to Africa).

We have 10 Days in Africa and it really taught our daughter the basic geography of Africa. Although she is possibly a little old for the game now, almost 13, she requested the Europe version for a gift. I think it is an excellent way to get children, and adults, to focus on and learn the political geography of a continent.
10 Days Games Great For Learning Geography

We have the Africa, Europe and Asia versions of the "10 Days in" games and we love them. They are challenging and fun, require strategy and thinking and you learn geography as a bonus. This is not just another boring quiz game.
