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

Hardest ones are the small random African and European countries.

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.

Would it be possible to add an average points per city score/leaderboard too?
