Placing a city in Latin America
Placing the region is the first and cheapest decision you make in a round, and getting it wrong costs you the whole guess. In Latin America the giveaways are the combination of landscape and building pattern rather than any single landmark: once you have seen Mexico City, Guadalajara, Monterrey from above, the family resemblance across the rest becomes obvious.
The cities the game rates expert here — Medellin, Salvador — are the ones without a signature feature. On those you are reading grid texture, tower distribution and the shape of the edge where the city stops.
