The game mixes several kinds of regions: republics such as the Republic of Karelia and the Republic of Kalmykia, krais such as Altai Krai, Primorsky Krai and Khabarovsk Krai, oblasts such as Arkhangelsk Oblast, Moscow Oblast, Novosibirsk Oblast and Sakhalin Oblast, and autonomous okrugs such as the Nenets Autonomous Okrug. Each round asks 40 of the 80 regions, with three minutes for the whole game and three attempts per question. Each wrong attempt costs points, and the time left at the end earns a bonus. With so many similar names, learning the types of regions and their neighbors is the best way to speed up.
