Take Off! is a board game designed to teach geography, first released in 1988 by Resource Games for two to six players aged six and up. Players pilot planes along colored routes on a world map, using eight-sided dice to move and drawing cards as they progress across hemispheres from a Hawaii starting point toward their objectives, absorbing geographic and historical trivia about the regions they pass through along the way. Typical play, after a brief five to ten minute setup, runs an hour or more, blending straightforward race-game mechanics with an explicitly educational design intent aimed at family and classroom audiences.
