I'm a fan of this kind of 3 maps games now!

@ paulfunI:

Very good eye there. And there is a real discrepancy in the game. It seems that the map and labels I used actually came from here:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geography_of_Slovenia#Historical_Regions

map alone:

Sometimes, when I make games, I go back and forth among several webpages and various notes. That can be confusing sometimes. (Especially when you're putting 3 maps into a game!)

In this case, I just got lost.

So the regions shown are valid within one context. The names you suggest are also valid in another context. I just put the wrong link into my initial game comment.

I hope this clarifies / fixes it.

And thanks for pointing that out. It is such a subtlety that I would never have found it on my own. Your good eye and your willingness to report the discrepancy is very much appreciated by me.

Great game and great concept, tickman! *****
But, according to your own reference site, Goriska and Istria regions should be Primorska? Look at : http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Kronlander_Slowenien.png

Very clever, but also very frustrating game! At my venerable age, I get so easily muddled ...

A great and complete way to learn a country. It reminds me of the game you made of Australia which I also like a lot.

The Landscapes and Cities & Neighbors maps are there, as is a map similar to the regions map.
