2.0 out of 5 stars Not a traditional Authors game, actually playing cards, December 14, 2011
This review is from: American Authors Card Game (Authors & More) (Cards)
I ordered several sets of cards--explorers, scientists, authors--thinking they would be like the traditional authors cards I played as a child. They are actually numbered playing cards including face cards (king, queen, jack, jocker) with a picture of an author in the center of each card. When I tried to play games with children, they referred to the numbers rather than the person pictured. Also the print of the person's name in the center was hard to read and the biographical information was in very small print. While they might be better than cards without any information, the educational value is peripheral at best.

The cards had a plasticized coating and were very sturdy but $9 is expensive for playing cards.

Bought this for a family member that did say they liked it. Educational and takes one back to childhood card games.
