10 Days in Europe; the third release of the wildly popular "10 Days" line of Geoplay games from Out of the Box Publishing. Walk from Austria to Hungary, take a boat from Spain to Italy, or fly from Greece to Finland. Touring by plane, boat, and on foot, players chart their course from start to finish using desitination and transportation tiles.

The goal of these games is to arrange ten tiles in a sequence that becomes a connecting ten-day cross-continent journey.

Connections can be made by foot (to an adjacent country), by boat (travel through any sea); or by airplane (between two countries that are the same color as the plane).

Just like the Vampire board game featured in this issue, OTB is capitalizing on a brand now know to consumers. The options for the "10 Days" series is endless. Not only could OTB go through the continents, but they could go through individual countries, states and provinces. Imagine a variation on all those "opoly" games you may carry.

Though Out of the Box does not spend marketing dollars beyond conventions, they seem to have taken their broad success with Apples to Apples and continue to grow their brand. If your customers are not familiar with the "10 Days" series, then you have a chance to not only sell them one game, but a whole series they may want to come back to purchase.
