About the Game

Description of the game from Spielbox:

Metropolen (Metropolises) is also by Jorg Miethe. Here, the goal is to place the location of various metropolises on a blank map. The closer your X comes to the correct location, the more points you get.

The game was invented during a car ride from Stuttgart to Leipzig. There was a lot of traffic and therefore lots of traffic jams mentioned on the news. The inventor pictured a map of Germany during these announcements and tried to arrange the towns mentioned. From this situation arose the first prototype "Highway Guessing". This very quickly turned into the playable "Metropolen".

The game can be used by school classes as a geography learning game (for example in two groups playing against each other) or as an educational game for traveling groups or other parties. The game was tested in a casual group and was a real conversation starter ("I know where that is, I had the most unbelievable experience there...").
