How to play the distance from London game
Major world cities are ranked by straight-line distance from London in this deck. Each card shows a city with its country printed below. One city is on the line at the start with its distance showing. Place each new card above or below the cities already down. Get it right and the distance in kilometers appears; get it wrong and the city still moves to its true spot, costing you one of three lives.
Nearby European capitals are easy, but the rest of the world spreads out fast and the far end gets tight. A flat map can mislead you, since the shortest route over the globe often bends toward the pole. Cities that seem worlds apart can sit at almost the same distance from London, and the country under each name doesn't help much when that country is the size of a continent.
