10 Days in Asia

No, I'm not traveling anywhere. What I am doing is playing 10 Days in Asia by Out of the Box! You have ten days in Asia touring by train, airplane, ship or on foot. Chart your course from start to finish using destination and transportation tiles. With a little luck and clever planning, you just might outmaneuver your fellow travelers. The first traveler to make connections for a ten day journey wins the game.

The idea of the game is that you need to make a 10 day trip from one place to another using the destination tiles and the transportation tiles that you draw randomly.  You can travel from country to country either by using a destination tile from a  neighboring tile or by using a transportation tile. So if you are in India, you can place a destination tile for Pakistan or Nepal because they border India. However you cannot place a destination tile for Yemen because it does not border India.  You could, however, play a transportation tile like a train because it's possible to take a train from India to another location.

10 Days in Asia contains 57 destination tiles, 22 transportation tiles, 8 tile holders, a map game board and a rules sheet.  It's mean for 2-4 players that are ages 10 to adult.  Each game takes about 20 to 30 minutes.  The game is fun as well as educational.  The destination tiles have the country name, map of the country, its capital, and population information. The series also includes 10 days in Europe, 10 days in Africa, 10 days in the USA and 10 days in the Americas.


David13 and I had a great time playing 10 days in Asia. He's always enjoyed geography so I wasn't at all surprised to see that he enjoyed the game. The game really makes a great home school resource as well as a great addition to your game closet. We enjoyed trying to find the different countries on the map so we could make our connections and then quizzing each other on what the different capitals were.  The game was even honored by Mensa (The High IQ Society) so I feel good that it's educational as well as fun.
