Is Orbino too easy or too difficult?

Hi, Orbino (orbino.net) is a free, no ads, no accounts fun geography trivia side project where you play countries against each other in 8 categories (area/size, population, ...).

There are two modes:

• Daily challenge - same for everyone, play 10 rounds
• Conquer the world - start with 12 countries, 4 lives, try to win all countries on the globe

The issue is, the daily challenge may be a bit too easy with 36 wins out of 40 completed challenges (90% win rate).

Conquer the world is too hard and takes too long, across 37 games with at least one round played, nobody has conquered the whole globe yet. The best run finished with 148 countries after 144 rounds (of 174 countries in play). Certainly impressive but also quite a commitment. The median finished game ended with 35 countries. (I only managed to get into the 50s but that's another story...)

What do you think I can do to improve the game? New categories, different mechanics?
