Learn all about
the different states as you battle it out in this educational version of the
classic “war” card game. Each of the 50 cards features one of the states along
with statistics about that state: population, size in square miles, number of
counties, distance from DC, and the year it became a state. Call out different
facts each round to try and beat the other state cards! Your student will be
playing for hours, and you’ll be able to tell when they randomly say at the
dinner table, “Did you know Colorado became a state in 1876?” Comes in an
easy-to-carry plastic case that measures 3.3” x 5.5”. For 2 or more players.

Easy-to-carry plastic case means there are no limits on gameplay
Prepare to outsmart your opponents, discover new and exciting facts and duel your way to becoming the Top Trump
This card game brings "war" into the 21st century while featuring beautiful pictures, and amazing facts and statistics on each card. Simply deal out the deck of 30 cards to all players and flip over the top card. Whoever begins can pick a statistic from their card that they think will beat everyone elses. Facts on the cards include things such as height, weight, speed, and more. For example, if your top card is a Polar Bear with a rather astonishing weight of 800kg (who knew polar bears weighed so much?), you would call out "Weight! My animal is 800kg." Everyone else would call out their top cards weight, and whoever had the highest stat in that category would win and collect all cards from the round. Play continues after the same fashion until someone wins by collecting all 30 cards.
While the main draw of the game is definitely the simple, yet much needed variation on the classic game of War, the educational value is unparalleled. Did you know that a Great White Shark can swim as deep as 300 meters? Or that the U.S. has won over 2,300 Olympic Medals? Quite simply, its both educational and incredibly easy to play. What more could a parent want?
We enjoyed this... Easy to play. Comes with a HOW TO PLAY sticker on package, along with a card with suggestion for more speedy play. These cards feature a beautiful photo for each state, along with small printed state flag, state seal, state flower, state bird, and state abbreviation. There is a small map of the USA with the featured state colored in red with the state capital named, along with a brief description of an interesting fact about that state. Also included: approximate Population (millions), Size (SQ Miles), Number of Counties, Distance from DC (miles), Admission to the Union (Year).
There is one Quiz Question card enclosed with answers on the back. PERFECTLY packaged for road trips or just anytime.
