Eesti 100 is now in the past, but there was no EN-game devoted to that great anniversary... How come?! No problem: a year later we are still celebrating, sort of :)
During the last year, the city of Tallinn has changed a lot but the construction works during the past few years have been even more massive. Let's explore the changes but keep an eye on some old gems too! ;)
This game's format is very simple: plan->drive->run->plan->drive->run... being both easy and challenging for the old and new teams. Anyone can win - finally! ;)
