How the distance from Sydney game works
This deck measures the world from Sydney. Each card is a major city, with its country printed underneath, and you rank them by straight-line distance in kilometers. One city begins on the line with its distance showing. Slot every new card above or below the cities already placed. Get it right and the distance is revealed; get it wrong and the city still lands where it belongs, costing one of your three lives.
From Sydney almost everywhere is a long trip, so the line is lopsided: a few near neighbors, then a crowd of distant cities packed close together. Europe arrives in a tight bunch where you need a feel for the globe, not just the map. The Americas are easy to misjudge in both directions. Read the country, then picture the curve of the Earth.
