For those unfamiliar with this game, you need to build a &#8220;tour&#8221; of 10 Days through the countries in Europe. Each day is represented by a card, which is either a country, a ship on an ocean, or a colored airplane. You can walk between adjacent countries (or countries connected by a ferry), take a ship across an ocean that connects two countries, or fly a colored airplane between two countries of the same color.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s an example, from the rules:<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.otb-games.com\/europe\/rules.html\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.otb-games.com\/graphics\/europe\/rules_3.gif\" width=556 height=155 align=\"Center\"><\/a> <\/p>\n<p>This got me to thinking about whether it would be possible to connect this game with the two other games in the series: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.otb-games.com\/africa\/\" target=\"_blank\">10 Days in Africa<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.otb-games.com\/usa\/index.html\" target=\"_blank\">10 Days in the USA<\/a>. I&#8217;ll note that the 10 Days in Africa page does suggest a variation where <a href=\"http:\/\/www.otb-games.com\/africa\/variations.html\" target=\"_blank\">Africa and USA are combined<\/a>, so it should be possible. Somehow, though, I think a longer tour should be required, perhaps 20 days.<\/p>\n<p>This would give something like:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cahighways.org\/lj-images\/20days.jpg\" width=561 height=222 align=\"Center\"><\/p>\n<p><b>Update:<\/b> This is also being discussed in <a href=\"http:\/\/www.boardgamegeek.com\/thread\/91862\" target=\"_blank\">this thread<\/a> on BoardGameGeek.
