About this quiz
Ribbia counts 197 countries: the 193 members of the United Nations plus Vatican City, Palestine, Kosovo and Taiwan. A miss shows the right capital before the next country comes up, so every round teaches something.
- The clock allows four seconds for each country: 80 seconds for a round of 20.
- Djibouti, Guinea-Bissau, Sao Tome and Principe are left out, because the capital's name is part of the country's.
- The first round of each day is the same for everyone; after that every round is a fresh draw. You can also play all 51 in one run.
- Where a country has more than one capital, the bank shows the one Ribbia lists first in its capitals quizzes.
