Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I bought this for my 4 1/2 year old son this summer because he was (and remains) obsessed with geography in general and the 50 states in particular. He loves it. The rest of us, however, don't. The instructions are inadequate and the purpose of the game is just too basic. By the way, the instructions do tell you where to begin--in the state where you live or where you are currently playing the game. My son lives for the day when we will take the game to another state so he can start in a different state. But the instructions do not say anything about how you are supposed to get to Hawaii and Alaska. And the fact that some of the states are combined into groupings has been a little confusing for my son. I think if the company had designed the board better, with less space wasted on the picture of Carmen SanDiego, the map could have been larger thus negating the necessity of combining smaller states. Anyway. We have logged a lot of hours on this game over the past few months. We've changed the rules to make it more interesting, but even so, it gets rather boring. I would give the game 1 star, but I can't discount the fact that my son does love it so much.
