A geographical variant on the game of dominoes. Whereas a conventional domino face is divided into two square ends bearing variant numbers of pips, the square ends of the domino-shaped cards in the present game bear either the name of a continent (Asia, Europe, America, or Africa) or the names of the geographical features of those four continents. The geographical features include the names of states, lakes, rivers, islands, etc. In placing tiles, players of the game must match names of continents with geographical features of the selected continent.
Accompanied by an instruction pamphlet (4, [4] pages) that includes a key to the geographical dominoes, followed by publisher's advertisements. - Subject Terms:
