How to play the distance from Tokyo game
Starting from Tokyo, you're ranking major world cities by how far away each one is in a straight line. Every card shows a city with its country printed below. One city is placed at the start with its distance showing. For each new card, decide whether it sits above or below the cities already down. A right answer reveals the distance in kilometers; a wrong answer still moves the city to its true spot and takes one of three lives.
Tokyo sits on the edge of a huge ocean, which scrambles most people's sense of the map. Close neighbors go quickly, but cities on other continents bunch up, and small differences decide the order. The farthest cards are on the far side of the globe, where a flat map makes distances very hard to judge. Trust the curve of the Earth over the shape of the map.
