Can you get from Mauritania to Madagascar in just ten days? If you're game. Board game, that is! In 10 Days in Africa, players must "travel" by plane, truck, or foot. Using a big board, but no pieces, and plenty of geography and strategy, players arrange country and travel cards to chart a course through the politically complex African continent. This game provides the perfect opportunity to discuss and learn, bringing African geography, history and politics to life. (Out of the Box, 2-4 players, $24.99)
