Världsmästarna Världsmästarna, or Conquest as the English title is, is a quiz show originally broadcasted in Norway and Sweden. The show was later translated into a PC/Mac game with the same name.

In the game there are two teams, one red and one green, both player controlled. The game is played on a map of the world, and the target for each team is to conquer the world by answering to questions from different continents. On the map each continent has a couple of rings, each representing a question. The questions come in five different topics i.e. sports or history. The topic is decided by using a dice, and after that you choose your continent. After reading the question you will come to a map of the chosen continent. Here you have to move a ring to the the place on the map where you think the answer is. The size of the ring can be changed and this determines the amount of points you'll get.

When all questions for a continent has been used, another dice is introduced. This has the different continents, and if you get the right one you can buy it. The team with most continents when all has been conquered wins the game. [source:mobygames]
