    Games for a place wheel

    Spin a city and name its country before you read the card. For a travel game, spin three and plan one trip that visits them in order. In a geography quiz, switch to Elimination so no city comes up twice.

    How this list was compiled: 130 cities in seven groups, put together for this site on 2026-09-30. World cities and their countries are from the table in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_largest_cities, taken in the table's order with Asia stopped at 24; two entries the country wheel does not list as countries were left out. Capitals are an editors' pick from this site's country wheel, whose capitals were checked on 2026-09-18 against https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_national_capitals; countries with more than one capital were skipped. US cities and their states are the first 24 rows of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_United_States_cities_by_population. The four Australian cities are the first four rows of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_cities_in_Australia_by_population. The Wikipedia pages were read on 2026-09-30. Continents follow the United Nations M49 geoscheme as on the country wheel, which puts Istanbul's country in Asia. This is a pick for a wheel, not a ranking: no population figure is given.
