Dee wrote: "the 9th region is Antarctica which is optional"

That's what I thought. Thanks.

I noticed on the readerboard that some people have 9 regions, but in the instructions only 8 are listed. What is that 9th region?

Finally! 80 books! Hooray! But I'm not stopping here, that's for sure! Onward we go!
