The Abuja Game is a newly created “board and card game” for entertainment, relaxation, general education, national awareness and national unity. The Abuja Game is made up of two parts - practices and theory. The practical side has to do with the movement of players from certain parts of the country to Abuja using the shortest routes. The theoretical part of the game has to do with testing the players' knowledge of Nigeria through carefully selected questions. The Abuja game is a brain-testing game whose winners are determined tlirough qualities such as skills, speed, memory and ingenuity which are reflected in their ability to manipulate the cards.
