Every country you will be asked to identify
Antigua and Barbuda, Argentina, Australia, Bahamas, Barbados, Belize, Bolivia, Brazil, Canada, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Cuba, Dominica, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, El Salvador, Fiji, Grenada, Guatemala, Guyana, Haiti, Honduras, Jamaica, Kiribati, Marshall Islands, Mexico, Micronesia, Nauru, New Zealand, Nicaragua, Palau, Panama, Papua New Guinea, Paraguay, Peru, Saint Kitts and Nevis, Saint Lucia, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Samoa, Solomon Islands, Suriname, Tonga, Trinidad and Tobago, Tuvalu, United States, Uruguay, Vanuatu, Venezuela.
The capitals that cost people points: Belmopan, Ngerulmud, Palikir (Micronesia), Majuro, Yaren, Funafuti, Honiara, Nuku'alofa, Basseterre, Castries, Roseau, and Bolivia's pair.
The two clusters that cause every mistake
The Central American five. Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras, Nicaragua and Costa Rica all descend from the blue-white-blue flag of the United Provinces of Central America. Guatemala is the only one with vertical bands. Honduras adds five blue stars in the white band; Nicaragua a triangle with a rainbow; El Salvador the coat of arms; Costa Rica cuts a wide red band through the middle. Argentina and Uruguay are also blue and white — Argentina's sun sits in the centre, Uruguay's in a canton above nine stripes.
The Union Jack canton in the Pacific. Australia, New Zealand, Fiji and Tuvalu all keep it, so count the stars: Australia has a seven-pointed Commonwealth Star plus five white Southern Cross stars; New Zealand only four red stars with white borders; Fiji a shield on light blue; Tuvalu nine yellow stars mapping the nine islands.
Two naming traps worth one card each: Kingston is Jamaica, Kingstown is Saint Vincent and the Grenadines. St. John's is Antigua and Barbuda, St. George's is Grenada.
Two ways to run this deck
Do a flag-only first pass: name the country, ignore the hint. Add the capital out loud only on the second pass — recalling both at once buries cards you almost knew.
The deck is one alphabetical list, so the regions interleave (Australia sits between Argentina and Bahamas) and the Central American lookalikes never appear side by side. Study those five together once, deliberately, before the shuffle scatters them.
If you have already run the 54 African flags deck, this one is easier: fewer shared palettes, more unique emblems. Open Flip It, find BS8315 (Flags: Americas & Oceania) in the library, and start with the Pacific — 14 flags is a comfortable first session.
