I already have a somewhat outdated Scratch World Map, which is, however, in English. Since I decided to buy a new time, also because some boundaries have shifted. The cheap price of the scratch-off world map has naturally influenced my decision, I did not want to spend so much. I was pleasantly surprised by the quick delivery to Austria very well packaged in a clear plastic sleeve and sturdy carton. After unpacking, I was impressed by the thick, solid quality. Really hard. Because the old map is quite thin and so wavy I wanted to still get a frame. Because of the thick paper of the new card but decided for normal tape. That is enough. The gold layer can be rubbed off well, well, nothing solves the pressure underneath. Hopefully it works even after a few years off still as good as now. Ergo: strong buy recommendation with 5 stars - and my next Christmas present for the office for my well-traveled colleague
