Map Deduction

knowledge · Wildcard, weekly

Clues about a city, revealed one at a time. Drop one pin: the distance to the real city is your score, and the fewer clues you use the better.

Clues about a city arrive one at a time, each narrower than the last. Drop a pin whenever you think you know, and how close you land is your score. Waiting for another clue always helps and always costs, which makes the interesting decision the one about when to stop reading.

When you will see it

Map Deduction is a Wildcard. It takes the fourth slot for a week at a time, on a rotation through twelve candidates.

Clues about a city, revealed one at a time. Drop one pin: the distance to the real city is your score, and the fewer clues you use the better.
