Very entertaining and I learned some things too!

I wanted a fun and engaging way to teach my children the geography of the US. When my mother was taking a trip I ordered this so that the kids would have a way of 'seeing' how far away she would be. I enjoyed it, we played it several times the first night. The kids, two months later, still ask to play it. It is not so simple that you will not enjoy yourself, and it also opens up nice family discussions. My kids were asking if I had been here or there, and what it was like. I was able to show them where I was born, all the states I have lived in, etc. They have a better idea of where stories I tell them took place now, and tell me about the state birds, and how they wished we lived in such and such state because that is their favorite bird. Now that they know I am writing a review about it, we have to go play it. I wish a game like this had been around when I was young, I found geography to be boring!

Great game

I purchased this game for my 9 year old and he loves it! It even helps me learn more about the states and geography that I didn't know! Fun to play as a family!

A little advanced

I boought this to help my 8 year old learn more about the states, because he's always asking so many questions about them. It's a bit advanced - I can't imagine many 8 year olds being able to actually play the game without constant adult help - but rather than play it at a game, we use the board and the question cards as a seek and find/learning type game of our own and it works well that way and both my son and I have learned a lot.

Great learning game

I bought this for my 6 year old son. The timer came broke in the box but the game is still fun and it is easy to find other ways to time if you use that as part of the game (older kids). For me this is a great learning game for the younger ones and a refresh of knowledge for adults and older kids. We really enjoy it.

What a blast!!

We LOVE this game! I have to agree with another reviewer; get ready to learn how little you know about the USA! Our seven year old happens to love geography and is really learning lots of great facts about our states. I truly feel this will help him in school. In agreement, as well, about the cheesy spinner and timer; the spinner constantly gets "stuck"..you have to sort of pull it up through the cardboard in order to get it to work (9/10 times when spinning, which is a bit annoying). And I have my doubts about how accurate the timer is as well. All in all, I would recommend this game its educational qualities and it being tons of fun at the same time!

Oppenheim award-winningGreat States by International Playthings takes the wholegang on a cross-country trip. Children (and adults) can test their knowledge of state landmarks, state locations, state capitals and other facts. For instance, what is the capital of New Jersey? Or where is the Football Hall of Fame? Can you tell me what state touches two Great Lakes? Those are just a few of the hundreds of questions players are asked as they journey around the United States discovering state attractions, state landmarks, state abbreviations, state locations and much more. Not only are all the answers somewhere on the game board (map), there are game variations which can be played (so younger children and advanced players can both compete)2-6 playersAges: 7 and up
