How to play GeoConnections

Sixteen tiles hide four countries: each country appears four ways: its name, flag, border shape and a statistic. Group the four tiles that belong to the same country. You get four mistakes; after that a hint can reveal a group.

Solving all four groups is a clean sweep. You are allowed four mistakes, and once they are used up a hint can reveal one group, so the real challenge is deciding which grouping to commit to first.

The trap is that a name, a flag, a border outline and a statistic can each look like they belong to a different country. Every region has its own daily board, drawn from that continent only.
