About the game
What you do in a play session
Dad in Chad! Africa Edition is an educational yet fun board game that blends geography with light strategy. For 2 to 4 players, the goal is to help Dad return to Chad while collecting countries, building routes, and tackling challenges along the way. The game naturally teaches about all 54 African countries, including their names, locations, and relative sizes, while exploring contemporary aspects like science, technology, arts, sports, and wildlife. With mechanics like dice rolling, matching, and 'take that' moments, the game is fast-paced, full of twists, and illustrated with hundreds of original cartoons. Learning geography has never been this fun — no flashcards, no quizzes, just play!
