What's new
- Every map page got its own article
Under each flat map there is now an essay on the flags of that country or continent — what is on them, which ones get confused and why — plus the full list of units with their capitals, a few questions answered, and links to neighbouring maps. The capitals pages have their own essays about the capitals. The globe page has the same treatment. New sections: Guides, Updates, Contact and Terms.
- Map of Sweden
Twenty-one counties on a flat map. The county flags are banners of the county arms, drawn for the site after the official blazons because no free versions existed.
- Capitals pages rewritten as an index by city
Each capitals page now lists the deck by city — Dresden, Saxony — instead of repeating the flags page's table, so the two pages of one map no longer read as duplicates.
FAQ
Is it free?
Yes, and there is nothing to buy. An ad runs between rounds — never during one.
Does it work on my phone?
Yes. It is a website, not an app: flags are dragged with a finger, and the globe rotates and zooms with gestures.
How is the score counted?
When the last flag lands: how many flags you placed yourself, the percentage and the time — for example 221/235 · 94% · 14:27. Flags the game placed for you after three misses or Skip are not counted.
Which flags are included?
All 235 territories that have a flag and an ISO code, from Ukraine and Japan to Niue and Wallis and Futuna. The six that are left out stay on the globe but take no flag. All 235 are listed here with capitals and facts.
