Where is Moldova?

[topum]

I was surprised that Moldovans seem to have never heard about this game:



"Where is Moldova is a superb family board game that uniquely evenly combines general knowledge, strategy and luck. This brilliant game that plays in under an hour, allows people of all ages and ability the chance to win from any position. For 2 to 6 players or teams.
Featured in The Daily Telegraph as: "A perfect family game".
Featured in The Independent as: "#1 Best Gift for Kids This Christmas".
As seen on BBC TV"

Moldovans just don't know about its existence it seems. I wanted to order one as a present for our hosts' neighbours but it seems that even Amazon, which sells this game does not know where Moldova is because they cannot deliver it to Moldova. "Where is Moldova" cannot be delivered to Moldova. I am back to London for 3 days next week and will get one there for them.

Cool.  I had no idea there was a board game about Moldova.  I wonder how it's played. 

Amazon is odd though that they don't ship to Moldova.  It's not that hard to find on a map it's just between Romania and the Ukraine.  Unless there is some political reasons that they can't ship there.  Not sure what kind of politics Moldova has.

I think this game is not only about Moldova, they just chose this name.
Moldova is pro-west, pro-EU.
It is just that so little business could be expected from here that it is probably not cost effective for them to spend even the minimal money needed to set up shipping here.

I expect it's shrinkwrapped so they can't open it to check where to send it :-D

Ha ha!

Lol. Well, maybe the logic is 'you can't sell this game in Moldova, they already know where Moldova is!' :) I do love the idea of opening the box to figure out where to deliver it.

Ha ha, that's a great guess. Makes sense.
