Capital or Not: Canadian Provinces
It's easy to associate the city and province or territory by name. But where is the capital located...? Given several options can you tell which is and which is not?

Thanks for spotting that. It is fixed now. And it only took about 14 months and 100 plays.

How the game works:
Each province contains several dots. One is labeled with the name of the capital. The others in the same province are labeled with "Not [name of the capital]".
So if instead of Canadian provinces, it was say, the US state of Pennsylvania, one dot in Pennsylvania says "Harrisburg" the others all say "Not Harrisburg".
Next door in Ohio, there are several dots. One says "Columbus", the others all say "Not Columbus".
So you are reinforced several times for the name of the capital, but only once for its location...

That's a silly comment. Yes or no game is not as good. This way, you could learn the capitals much better. You get 4 clues that tell you what province Winnipeg is in. Three say where it isn't, and one says where it is. This way, you get both the province and the location. Not like other capital games.
You just couldn't figure it out, it looks like. But it looks like you never really played it anyway, your name isn't on the list.
It isn't well-explained through the game description, though. I can see you might get easily confused by that.

It's a good game once you understand the rules.
When you get the 'not Winnipeg' clue you must find a dot in the province that has Winnipeg for its capital and that is not Winnipeg.
The toughest one for me was Charlottetown since there are only two dots for that province and they cover the entire island.

I dont like this game! It should really be a yes or no game! And for not Winnipeg I clicked on a dot in Sastkachewan and got it wrong! And The dots in the New Brunswick area are really close to eachother! Na! I dont like this game! I dont like this game at all!
