This Parent’s Choice Award winner does something extraordinary – it gets children excited about geography! Players race fleets of jets from city to city following colored route lines across a large laminated map of the world (current each year with updates available from the manufacturer). The first player to complete the round-the-world flight wins the game. As players travel, they draw Take Off! cards with details about each country. It is an exciting race that combines strategy with luck, in cooperation with good-natured competition. The simplicity of play makes Take Off! the ideal introduction to basic location geography for young children, yet it is interesting and challenging for the whole family. 2-6 players, ages 6+.
