What are Africa Games🌍?
In this Africa Games List you will find games, expansions, promos, etc. where the African continent (not just a country) is represented thematically or playfully.
There are many games that deal with Africa or are set in Africa - but are difficult or impossible to assign to a specific country, so "country" families do not help to collect these games.
So this game category only contains games that deal specifically with the continent of Africa - i.e. no games that have a world map.
For more info, see Wikipedia entry for Africa.
