The Travels of Marco Polo

A very short but quite pleasurable casual point-and-click adventure with a few frustrations.

The story is remarkably loyal to the book (actually called "Book of the Marvels of the World") and the narrative and dialog surprisingly immersive, enhanced by wonderfully drawn graphics, all well researched and educational. There are a few hidden-object scenes (I think just 2 or 3) and several nice medium-difficulty puzzle mini-games.

Frustrations are due to the click zones being extremely small. Several times in the game I clicked on something but nothing happened. I tried again later after getting frustrated and suddenly it worked!
