Product Description
From the Manufacturer
Whoever said that learning about U.S. geography had to be boring must not have read The Scrambled States of America. We fell head-over-heels for Laurie Keller's hilarious story and knew that it had the making for a great game. As with her book, we hope our game provides a fun way to enrich basic knowledge of U.S. geography. Players learn the names, capitals, nicknames, shapes and positions of the states through a myriad of visual teasers, language riddles and geography challenges. After playing, you'll see that there's more to the 50 States than meets the eye!

The game is quick-paced, and as a busy mom of 3, is a literal game changer (the differance between sitting on the shelf and actually getting played). It averages 10 to 15 minutes per game, which is going through all 50 state cards!
It is not complicated (easy directions for a sleep deprived Mom) and yet is not mind numbing to play and actually have fun. Each state card has the State name, State Capitol, and the State Nickname(who knew that Utah is the Beehive State? Not I!). You then try to earn your State cards by being the first to identify one of your States that meets the criteria for whatever the Red Scramble card is asking. Such as, 'Is South of Colorado', or 'Nickname contains 4 different vowels', or 'Touches the Atlantic Ocean' or 'State has same number of letters as it's capital'. This game is different every time we play, yet ALWAYS fun! We have played with either 3 or 4 people, only difference is that it went a little faster with 3.
The disapointing thing about this product:
My son originally wanted this game because he has the Scrambled States Talent Show book (different book in the series) and loves it! This game advertises that the book, The Scrambled States of America, is included. We were very excited to add this book to our library and that was a part of the reason that we decided to make this purchase. Long story short... it's not really able to be considered a book IMO. It's more of the original book in a 5in square pamphlet format. Definately not able to be added to our library, it would get lost and destroyed quickly in the hands of my 2 yr old. While my son and I were dissapointed with that aspect, we greatly enjoy playing the game. And everything else about the game is great quality.
I highly recommend purchasing this great game! You'll feel like you're in the "Land of Enchantment" (the State Nickname of New Mexico: Fun Fact courtesy of this game) when your child is unassumingly getting a better understand of the geography of the United States and happily learning their State Capitals! Win Win! Get your facts UNscrambled, with The Scrambled States of America Game! Worth every penny!
