Discover the world with Travlink!, the ultimate geographical puzzle game! In Travlink!, your goal is to name and link the countries you’d need to pass through on a journey from one country to another in the shortest route possible. As you play, you’ll navigate through unique rules: bridges and tunnels count, but exclaves and remote territories do not. Special connections like Ireland to the United Kingdom and Indonesia to the mainland via Malaysia add to the challenge. However, some direct connections like Russia to Poland via Kaliningrad and Spain to Morocco via Ceuta or Melilla are excluded. Travlink also includes disputed territories such as Somaliland and treats regions like French Guiana as separate entities. Travlink! – Explore the World
