There are a few different ways to play the game and it is definitely one that will see us get more strategic about as we learn more as we play it. There are different sets you can buy such as Africa, or the USA, and it’s a great fun way to get to grips with geography as well as learning about capital cities and population as each card has this information on. I can already see lots of different possibilities for how we might use these in the future.

This portable award winning family game is fun, easy to learn, educational and highly addictive and makes a great present for any family member interested in geography or travel. Cleverly designed so that you don’t need to know your geography to play, but playing rapidly improves your knowledge. Widely recommended throughout the UK’s national press, Mapominoes UK is a portable travel game with a strong educational slant. Created by Wild Card Games, Mapominoes is a bit like dominoes, but uses counties as the playing pieces. Last year one of D’s friends bought him Mapominoes (European version). I’m not sure why, but we never seemed to get around to playing it. I think birthday’s are often overwhelming with gifts so some things inevitably end up to one side.

Mapominoes Africa is a portable game is fun, easy to learn, educational and highly addictive and makes a great present for any family member interested in geography or travel. Mapominoes is a card game that comes in several guises (we’ve shown Europe here, but there’s also a few other versions) where you are seeking to be the first player to get rid of all your cards as all players collectively ‘build’ a map out of them. Anyhow, D recently asked us to play and we LOVE this game. Such a super clever concept and one that is teaching the children so much about Europe and we have loved it so much we have just about the Africa version.

Every county card is different and hence no two games are ever the same in this clever game that you will want to play again and again. The excitement builds as you have fewer and fewer cards left to play, but less space to play them in as you reach the table’s edge!
