I hadn’t heard that Equatorial Guinea has a new capital. So when the name came up, you all know where I clicked.

I had most trouble with Pacific nations as it was not always clear on which island the capital is located.

This reminds me a lot of Globetrotter XL. I’d love more games like this, with other cities.
