Playing a geography game

I love geography games. There are a lot of different geography games on the internet, and I think it is great way to learn the names of the countries and the names of the capitals. I like to the games where you get a picture of the map and have to place to the countries on the map. I also like the games where you have to pick the right capitals from a list. I know my own continent (Europe) the best and I also know Asia quite well, because that is the continent that I really want to visit. I love reading about the different countries in Asia. I know many of the countries in Africa, too, but I find it different to remember the small islands around Africa and their capitals.

Another good question is which continent has the most countries. For me, Asia could be tougher to do because I don't know if I know all of the former soviet republics. Africa might be a little tough since some of the countries have changed their names since I went to school, which was a long time ago. I could probably do Europe. With the breakup of Yugoslavia, does Europe have the most countries now?

These games are fun, and if you have mnemonic countries it becomes easier things like Austria, Australia, etc The ideal is like you said going by continent, North America is very easy there are 3 countries, Australia, both continent and country, then other continents become more difficult. The thing is countries I can normally name a couple of dozens, the problem is the capitals of each one, or worse yet where they are. It took me ages to remember that Guiana is not next to Guinea or Guinea Bissau. Another problem is city states or island countries like Vanuatu, Andorra or when self governing autonomous regions like the Canary Islands which I used to forget were not independent but part of Spain, when I was younger. The same for Denmark and Greenland, only after loosing a couple of those Geography games when I was younger did I never forget that. Haven't played these types of games in a while, wonder if I am better then when I was younger. Thanks for the tip, I will probably go look for the game. Have a great day.

I do like games or quiz or anything about geography. I can list many countries around the world but I think I know more countries in Asia than any other continents since I am from Asia and I think Asia is the continent that has the most countries, but then I check about it in the net and I was wrong it's Africa with 53 independent countries, second is Europe with 51 and Asia is only third with 46 countries.

I used to play this kind of games like you described , but using my mother tongue by Chinese. actually i love this game very much, you can find out some interesting relationships. this is my first resopnse. Although i've studied english for some years, but i could not express clearly. answer your questions: Do you like geography games that test your knowledge? yes ,i like . i always play some classical games , for example civilization series that included many geography knowledge and Humanities. which continet do you konw most ? it must be Asia.
