Take Off!

                                      

 

Take Off! is a great educational game for all ages.  You hop from continent to continent, country to country, city to city.  You start out with 2-4 planes, and 2-5 players, as you hop from city to city by rolling two octahedron-shaped dice with many colors on them, as well as a wild color.  You can only hop to certain cities, depending on the color.  There is also a side on the die saying “TAKE OFF!” and you take a card from a stack, and you are taken to a capital city in front of or behind you.  Each destination card contains information about the country such as population, life expectancy, literacy rate, etc.  This game will take about 2 hours, so I would play it on a weekend, or start it on a Friday.  Other than that, take off to a great game!
