@ Icepack & Mad.
Ok I agree, you played and organized lot more tournaments than I did. I follow your idea and I gonna reverse the game log when next team has answered.

1) YELLOW AND green landed on Eurasia Mini - I read the rules to say no two teams can land on the same square - the second one, yellow here, should be moved to the next square, right?
2) where does one find which colors correspond to a country? The Cheshire Cats bought the Netherlands - I can't tell what color group that is.
3) what is Eurasia Mini?
4) can only buy a continent (or Eurasia Mini) if all of the countries are owned by that team, right?
1/ Hum ok, I wasn't clear enough in rules. It's ONLY when a property is already owned! Not on free territs like Continents (only if not hold yet) or "? spots", etc.... I gonna update it in the main RULES post.
EXPLAINATION :
Imagine team 1 hold GERMANY, then team 2 play and advance on GERMANY => Team 2 challenges Team 1 for GERMANY.
Then TEAM 3 play and also stop on GERMANY soon after. What happen? We have to wait until the entire game beetween Team 1 and team 2 end to know which team (1or2), team 3 will be able to challenge.
You know I mean? I will have to stop the whole game for all and for a while, waiting for this single game to end, even if it has just started.
That's why I decided to add this rule to avoid this kind of problem.
BUT! : Imagine a game is playing on GERMANY beetween Team 1 and team 2 since a few rounds, then Team 3 stops on GERMANY (NB : team 2 has already left the property) while the game is not over beetween team 1 and 2, then we'll have to wait that game end to know which team (1 or 2) will be challenged by team 3.
In this proper case, the game has alreayd started since rounds beetween team 1 and 2. I will have to stop the game of course until the game is over but we won't wait that long to see the winner (team 1 or 2).
2/I'm not sure what you're talking about! In the game log, they stopped on Netherlands wich is BLUE GREY GROUP. And you can see the groups of color on the board image.
If you're talking about your objective, see below :
The #numbers tell you the group order after the starting point :
Sorry, # numbers were supposed to be sent with the groups of colors by xroads, but he didn't.
BROWN group of 3 territories (#1) => BRITISH ISLES and 2 next properties with same color.
BLUE GREY group of 3 territories (#2) => NETHERLANDS and 2 next properties with same color.
DARK GREEN group of 3 territories (#3) => SOVIET UNION and 2 next properties with same color.
ORANGE group of 3 territories (#4) => JAPAN and 2 next properties with same color.
RED group of 3 territories (#5) => INDOCHINA and 2 next properties with same color.
BEIGE group of 3 territories (#6) => ICELAND and 2 next properties with same color.
SKY BLUE group of 3 territories (#7) => SOUTH AFRICA 1885 and 2 next properties with same color.
CLEAR GREEN group of 3 territories (#8) => MIDDLE EAST and 2 next properties with same color.
YELLOW group of 3 territories (#9) => CARRIBEAN ISLANDS and 2 next properties with same color.
PINK group of 3 territories (#10) => MEXICO and 2 next properties with same color.
In addition of 2 groups of properties, you have one continent and one railway. Those are named like you can see on the board!
Let me know if it was what you was asking
3/ EURASIA Mini is a continent on CQP Board and is a map into CC.
4/
Rules tell : "a 'continent' property => you can buy it only if you already own a full group of properties on any of the 4 nearest groups of properties."
Example given for EURASIA Mini = you can buy it only if you hold totally :
BROWN group of 3 territories (#1) => BRITISH ISLES and 2 next properties with same color.
OR
BLUE GREY group of 3 territories (#2) => NETHERLANDS and 2 next properties with same color.
OR
DARK GREEN group of 3 territories (#3) => SOVIET UNION and 2 next properties with same color.
OR
ORANGE group of 3 territories (#4) => JAPAN and 2 next properties with same color.
wich are the 4 nearest groups of properties for eurasia mini. You know I mean?
That's why I didn't ask those teams if they wanted to buy it, because they didn't reach the conditions.

Nope, there are no blue houses. There are (like monopoly) only
green houses and
red hotels.
Here for Chesire cats they have a green house (because they own it) + their mini pawn on the side to tell it's owned by Chesire Cats (and this team is blue).
I know you could be confused when seeing that DRAGONS have the same color house, but they're GREEN, not my fault!
We will have the same 'issue' when
JUST US will get a
RED HOTEL
