A common question...
Well thanks to the logic of a 12 year old, and google, I stumbled across a very suprising discovery. There is actually a board game called "Where IS Moldova." Of course I have never played this game, but the discovery still made my day. So check it out. Below, is listed a few tidbits from the website advertising the game... if you like it, you might want to check out their site in its entirity (www.whereismoldova.com).
Like most things, I just find this amusing.
The following descriptions were taken right off of their website.
--------
ABOUT THE GAME
The game can be played in less than an hour. So, it won't keep your family & friends up half the night, unless you want it to!
The game introduces a new concept in general knowledge. No longer is the most knowledgeable player guaranteed to win!
The object of the game is to achieve a chain of five or more 'connecting' (bordering) countries on the map.
You will need to challenge, defend, take the occasional gamble and even STEAL - so beware! You'll need your wits about you and plenty of Strategy cards.
In your quest for victory: will you lead from the front, or bide your time and catch your opponents unaware?
Remember - anyone can win from any position.
