Tactic Games UK 02177 Tactic Flags of The World, Mixed

Because of limited number of countries/flags, the game can become a little boring, as players get to remember them over a short period of time.

As advertised

my son loves this.

Too bad most of my friends suck at geography and history...but seriously, if you like flags and history, that's a nice little game.

Daughter very happy with the game, thank you.

We love this game! We were introduced to it using totally made up rules, I've read the official ones but not tried them. My geography is pretty good but my flag knowledge was atrocious. It's much better now!*Instructions*Bizarrely, the rules were in Norwegian in a version I just bought as a Christmas gift from Amazon. The cards and map were in English. I've therefore scanned and uploaded English instructions from my set.*Alternative rules 1*Basically, split the deck between the four compartments of the box face up. To make it quicker/easier just use some, maybe by continent. Players take it in turn to choose a flag and say a country. If they're right they keep that card plus they can take one other. If they don't know any they choose one for another player to read the clues. The player can use the map and if they work it out they get just that card. You can also play that you get a bonus card (potentially the third card in a go) if you can say the capital. The winner is the player with the most cards once all cards have been played.*Alternative rules 2*This version is good for younger players. Place 5 cards flag up on the table. Players take it in turns to choose one and say a country. If they're right they keep the card, if they're wrong set it aside. Repeat until the set aside pile has 5 cards then in the next round use them. This round will be easier because the cards have recently come up. Again, reduce the deck to make it easier and the winner is the one with the most at the end. You can just ignore the clues and capitals in this version or incorporate them some how.

My daughter loves flags and she is learning all the flags for each continent. We've not used the game element as she is happy just learning the flags. Good quality laminated cards.

cards bit thinner than playing cardsone or two spelling and factual errors (for example referring to Mount Everest being 30,000ft in height)also colouring slightly off, for example Greece their flag is more blue than the light blue on printbit papery feel but shiny and OKwouldn't recommend for children who don't look after things as would get tatty quickly4/5 stars, decent priceon the plus side there are updated country names such as Eswatinigood facts on the reverse side, helps with memorising other geographical locations nearby such as lakes and riverstake care
