Why Europe is the hardest region

Europe has 47 countries on the map and 43 cities worth 5 troops a minute, more than anywhere of its size. Capitals are a few tiles apart, so you can grow rich fast, but every neighbour can reach you.

The small countries are the easiest crowns in the game. Luxembourg, Belgium, Slovenia or the Baltic states take only a handful of tiles to rule. Russia is the opposite: 1,379 tiles stretching to the Pacific, and the biggest country on the map.

How to play

  1. Plant your flag. Tap any free tile on Earth to start there. It's free, and you can't start right next to another player.
  2. Earn troops. You get 20 troops a minute, plus 1 for every tile you hold, 3 for a big city and 5 for a capital or megacity. They build up while you're away.
  3. Grow. Spend troops to claim free land up to three steps away (farther jumps cost more), or attack any tile right next to yours.
  4. Rule countries. Hold more than half of a country's tiles and you rule it. Your name goes on the rankings next to it.
  5. Win the season. Each season runs two weeks. Whoever holds the most land at the end wins, then the map resets and everyone starts again.

Questions

Is this a Europe geography quiz?

No. It's a strategy game on a real map of Europe and the rest of the world. You claim land, take capitals and rule countries against other players.

Which European country is easiest to rule?

Small countries need the fewest tiles. Luxembourg, Slovenia, Belgium or one of the Baltic states can be ruled with a handful of tiles, if nobody else gets there first.

Is TapGuessr free?

Yes. The game is free to play in any browser, on a phone or a computer. There is nothing to download and no account to make.

How long does a game last?

A season lasts two weeks, and the map is shared by everyone playing. Most people play a few minutes at a time: spend your troops, check who's attacking you, and come back when your troops have built up again.

Europe's capitals are a few tiles apart. Start collecting.
