The Scrambled States Of America Game By TKDDad on - Updated Oct 15, 2011
We brought this game on a recent shopping trip. I try to encourage my son to play games that also teach. This game does just that.
It is easy to learn. There are 50 blue State Cards and then some red game cards. Each player receives 5 Blue State cards. Then a red game card is pulled out and there is a question about a state on it. Example "What state is on the Eastern border of Iowa" or "touches the Atlantic Ocean" Some red card questions can have more then one answer so the first player to call out a state from their hand wins that round.
It really is a lot of fun.
I like it because it teaches my son about the United States geography and the US Capital cities. I have seen my son become more aware of the location of states and their capitals.
It is simple enough for kids, yet interesting enough for adults.
My brother was over one night and even a single bachelor had fun playing this game.
I have been telling other parens about this game when I hear them say they don't know what to get for their child. This is a fun educational game.
My only wish is that the company made a World Game similar to this State game.
I can not think of a bad thing about this game.

This sounds like a wonderful, educational game & I love it when kids learn & don't realize they're learning because the game is so much fun!
This is an awesome game....I love scrabble and this is great form of the game.....Thanks for sharing the information about this game.
Love it! It's always a winner when the kids and adults can play and no one is bored to death. And I'll be when the kids get to know the answers they can whip any stray adult they happen to snag to play with them.
Love this type of game, fun and educational.
This game would suit my level of geekery.
