You need to move between countries using the fewest number of stops.  At higher difficulty you only see the flags or capitals of the destination countries.

For purposes of this game, water connections have been defined as follows:

  • w1 = narrows, channel or strait
  • w2 = sea or large lake  - counts as 2 moves
  • w3 = short ocean distance - counts as 3 moves

    Only the closest few connections are defined for islands and continents
