A new Moroccan educational game, "Country of the Setting Sun," seeks to immerse children in the Kingdom's rich cultural tapestry. Launched by Dar Sliky Akhawain and Diwan Al-Mumkin, the game is the brainchild of Youssef Haji, designed to foster an early appreciation for Morocco's diverse heritage.

The game introduces young minds, starting from age four, to various facets of Moroccan life. Themed sections include "Faces of Morocco" highlighting ethnic diversity, "Moroccan Breeze" exploring culinary specialties and fragrances, and "The Moroccan Touch" focusing on traditional attire. It also delves into "Marriage and Holidays" to familiarize children with local celebrations and traditions, and "Moroccan Landmarks and Buildings" to introduce them to the country's architecture and spirituality.

Further sections cover "Archaeological Sites" to teach about historical locations, and "Generosity of Spirit, Hands, and Earth" to showcase craftsmanship and creativity. The game concludes with "Between Two Seas and the Desert," exploring Morocco's natural landscapes. Players collect cards from a box, with the goal of being the first to match all their corresponding cards on their boards, out of a total of 48 illustrated cards distributed among players.
