Publisher's Description of Snapshots Across America Game
Travel across a game-board map of the United States to visit top tourist attractions from all 50 States including many additional sites in the American Historical Expansion Deck. But watch for Bad Weather, your vacation can be spoiled by a tornado, snow storm, hurricane or other disaster. Includes the base deck of 124 plus the 32 card American Historical Sites.
Great for helping teach families U.S. Geography as well as about many great Landmarks, National Parks, Museums, National Monuments, Memorials, Historical Sites, and many other fun and educational attractions all across America.
Take a road trip without ever leaving the house! This easy to play game includes a US map game board, 124 cards in four different types, and six car-shaped player tokens. Card types include tourist attraction cards (featuring a few sentences about each destination), transportation cards, bad weather, and transportation cancel cards. Each player places their car in the state they live and is dealt six cards. On their turn, they'll start driving to a destination, or they can use a transportation card to take a plane, train, or boat. Watch out! Bad weather may strike at the hands of another player, or they might cancel your travel plans via a derailed train or closed airport. The first traveler to reach seven destinations wins! The 32 card expansion pack includes 22 new destinations as well as more travel and weather cards. This game is a fun addition to reinforce geography or bring a little USA knowledge to family game night.
Bought this game for homeschooling my 6 year old (1st grader) to reinforce our study of the US. Shes quickly picked up where the states are located. Now shes focusing on strategy, namely the fastest routes to her desired destinations.
My husband, father, and I enjoy playing the game with her. Weve learned some new historical and tourist sites too. Clever idea to have the weather and travel alert cards.
Highly recommend regardless of homeschooling or public or private schooling.

This game was purchased as a family Christmas gift to remind us of our recent road trip summer vacation.
My 5 year old adores this game. I actually have hidden it for a few days because we have played it multiple times a day every day for 22 days. My husband and I are getting a little burnt out lol.
Hes learned a great deal about national monuments in states we didnt visit and we enjoy talking about the states we did. Hes changed the rules a little to make the game longer since it goes really quickly. We like that its flexible enough to do this.
Great game! Not too complicated for young kids as long as they can read. My 4 year old who does not read will not sit for the game even if shes playing with help. My son insisted on playing this game at his 6th birthday a few weeks ago. His 5 and 6 year old friends were uninterested, but his 7 year old friends enjoyed it.
Hope this helps!
