In the game Travle, you have to guess a series of countries that will take you from one place to another. The goal is to be able to guess the countries with as few guesses as possible. The game includes all nations and regions that the United Nations recognizes, as well as some disputed territories and dependencies.
You can guess the countries in any order, but you must name every country you pass through on your way to the End Country. Exclaves can't be used to get around countries because they don't make new links. It's okay to jump directly over water within a country, like across the Bosphorus in Turkey or between islands in Malaysia. Jumps that force you to move closer to other countries, like between France and French Guiana, do not count.
When you make a guess, the computer will tell you with an image how close you are to getting it right. If your guess is right, it will have a green tick; if it's close, it will have a yellow triangle; and if it's wrong, it will have a red X.
Travle has knowledge about countries as well as borders and regions. People who share borders are thought to be linked, but not people who don't share borders. Groups of countries that have similar cultural, geographical, or historical traits are called regions.
Travle also has a few extra rules and features that make the game more fun and challenging. For example, some countries have more than one possible link, and players must choose the right one to move on. Also, some areas are better connected than others, which makes it easier to travel through them.
Some things about Travle, how to play the game, and tips to help you win:
Features:
Along with some contested regions and dependencies, Travle includes all of the nations and territories that the UN recognizes.
The game has knowledge about borders and geography, which makes it both educational and fun.
Some countries can link to more than one other country, which makes the game harder.
Tips for Success:
Start by looking at the area where the Start Country and the End Country are. This will tell you which countries to try to guess first.
Use your knowledge of geography to make smart guesses. For instance, if you know that two countries share a border, you can probably assume that they are connected.
You can narrow down your choices by using the process of elimination. You can take some countries off your list of possible answers if you know that they can't be linked.
In some countries, there is more than one way to join.
Don't be afraid to make smart guesses, because they can sometimes lead you to the right answer.
