    This was a game designed to teach children geography. It consisted of 48 cards (each card gave a short description of a country or geographical area accompanied by a small engraving of the inhabitants), a sheet with the rules and a world map.
    According to the rules, children had to show where the area described on their card was located on the supplied map, thereby linking the printed information with an understanding of  global geography.
