 great learning with a little tweaking to the game. Mar 06, 2002
By Amy
This game teaches the players to recognize and learn the names of about 50 countries by looking at them on a map. Good for grade K - adult. Young grade schoolers need a good "reader" to play with them to read some "bonus cards". I think after playing the game 10 or 20 times that most children will learn the country names. You can enhance the game however to make it better! Use a marker to number the countries that this game ignores and instead of using their []spinner create little cardboard numbers that the kids pick one at a time (instead of spinning). Instead of only having 50 countries in play, you can have hundreds... I immediately made my own "cardboard numbers". Be a little creative and this little game can teach a lot. It's fun to play and kids like it..especially after they've played it a few times and are learning the country names. A great introduction to world geography.

Lot's of fun while learning geography Aug 26, 1999
My daughter and I thoroughly enjoy playing this game. My knowledge of geography is limited and my daughter got quite a kick out of beating Mom easily. The game is brightly colored and very easy to understand and start playing. There's also a reading component with the post cards. I would recommend it for gifts or schools as well.

My daughter's favorite Nov 11, 2002

This game really puts the world at your child's fingertips. My daughter begs to play even after her dad and I are pooped. And at eight years old, she knows more about geography than I did when I was much older. I'm getting her "Name That State" for her birthday and expect the same reaction.

My 4-year old has not stopped playing for 1 month now. Aug 01, 2002
By C. Medina
I bought this for my 4-year old son who can already read. He has not stopped playing it for one month now even though he already knows each of the 60 countries and capitals. Because of this game, he has been reading the Atlas and books about children in other countries. I gave this game as a gift to my friends' kids who are between 4 to 8 years old; and they too love the game. I'm sure the game will quickly become boring; but it has done its job of opening up an aspect of learning and an area of interest besides reading, writing and math.

 This game was a dissapointment Oct 20, 2000
I had planned on buying this game for some time as our family loves learning games and we had been learning a lot of geography. I found this game did not live up to my expectations at all. The questions were so easy to figure out that whoever went first was usually the winner. We have only played the game once and no one has reached for it since. It does have some cute features (such as cute card questions). My children are ages 6 and 8 and found it basically uninteresting.
