10 Days in Africa is a terrific game for all ages – I have played it with people from 9 to 66 years old and every age in between and everyone can enjoy it. It’s also a great way to learn the geography of Africa. We changed 1 rule and it works better. Our rule: When you start the game,you have to place the cards in your tray in the order in which you pick them up. I also tried 10 Days in Europe but the game does not work as well with that continent. I want to try 10 Days in US soon.

Our 8 year old had been studying Geography and specifically the continent of Africa. When I found this game last christmas I was excited and thought that we would get a few good hours of play out of it. The family plays still it often, there is not a boredom factor that inhibits the enjoyment and we have been known to play three games in a row at one sitting. We have all gotten more familiar with the continent as we plan our trips for ten day in Africa.

Wow! My 9 year old learned the locations of every major country in Africa within a week of getting this game! The whole family loves it, including grandma (and teens, who are often harder to please). It does not cover some of the smaller African nations. But for learning where places like Eritrea and Togo are, it’s not only a painless geography lesson, it’s great fun. It’s also sturdy, with no small pieces to lose (except the cards, which are thick and substantial, so they don’t get lost easily. The game is also very easy to learn, so guests can join in right away. And games don’t last long, so it’s a great one to pull out when you only have 20 minutes.

I bought this game for a family birthday. We’ve played it over and over! To make it more challenging, have each player draw one tile (must be for a country) at random and place it in a designated location on the card holder. The player then cannot trade the card during the game and must use it in the position it was set. We’ve played the set card as the first card, the last card, and one of the middle cards. For older players, it’s an especially good rule to increase the difficulty when playing with only 2 players. Overall we’ve really enjoyed this game! I bought 10 days in Asia for a friend for Christmas. Can’t wait to play that one too!

Our family has a “long tradition” of buying games and playing them on Christmas day. I say “long,” because my two brothers and I are now in our 30s. My older brother got us this one this year, and it was tons of fun. (We actually came up with an alternate version already–take out all the drive/fly cars for the first two card picks. The first card you pickup goes in Day 1. The second card goes in Day 10. You can not change out these cards for the rest of the game. Then mix in the drive/fly cards, and fill up the rest of your Days.) My son is almost 4, but I can see him having fun with this game in a few years. I think we need to put 10 Days in the USA on our list.
