About the game
What you do in a play session
Pack your bags, because your African adventure is about to begin! In 10 Days in Africa, you take on the role of a traveler aiming to complete a flawless ten-day itinerary. The goal sounds straightforward, but don't be fooled: to win, you must plan your route very cleverly, connecting destinations using three different modes of transport: plane, car, or even on foot.
The gameplay is fast-paced and revolves around using destination and transportation tiles. You'll have a personal tray where these tiles are organized. The real challenge lies in the fact that you can't just rearrange everything at will; you can only replace existing tiles with new ones drawn from the deck. This adds a layer of strategy and a dash of luck to the mix.
Each transport method has its own rules: traveling on foot requires connecting adjacent country tiles; by plane, you connect same-colored countries using a colored airplane tile; and by car, you navigate between two countries that border a third. If you manage to complete your ten-day journey before your fellow travelers, victory is yours! It's a game of mental agility, planning, and a little bit of luck, perfect for those who enjoy quick challenges that won't eat up your whole afternoon but will definitely keep your brain working.
