# African Ambassador

> A free quiz card game about all 54 African countries, made by Ria's Colony (https://riascolony.org). Play at https://ambassador.riascolony.org in English, French (?lang=fr), Swahili (?lang=sw) or Arabic (?lang=ar). Free, with nothing to download. The first game needs no sign-up; after that, players get a free Ambassador Pass with just their email, no password.

African Ambassador asks "How well do you know Africa?" Players answer cards with four options, and every card ends with a short fact, so people learn whether they are right or wrong. It is a fun, educational way to learn about Africa for students, teachers, travellers, the African diaspora and anyone curious. The cards tell Africa's story from an African point of view.

## Ways to play
- Safari: an endless solo deck that gets harder level by level. Players have three lives.
- Daily Deck and Weekly Deck: 10 cards that are the same for everyone, with a shareable row of results and a daily streak.
- Fresh Cards: new cards every two weeks about what is happening across Africa.
- Challenge a friend: send a link; everyone who opens it plays the same 10 cards on their own phone and lands on one scoreboard. The most points wins; on the same points, the faster player wins.
- With friends on one phone: 2 to 6 players take turns, and can steal a card someone missed.
- Classroom Mode (https://ambassador.riascolony.org/class): one big screen, one person leading, with teams, topics and talking points after each card.

## Progress
- Lifetime rank from every right answer: Rookie, Explorer, Connector, Trader, Ambassador, and higher ranks after that.
- Africa Passport: a stamp for each of the 54 countries, in 5 steps.
- Africa profile: how a player does in each topic.

## Topics
Flags and capitals of all 54 countries, borders, coastlines, rivers and lakes, wildlife and national parks, natural resources and raw materials, food, languages, history before and after independence, famous Africans, trade and business (for example AfCFTA, ports and trade corridors), and tourism.
