Questions about each state - not America in general,
By
This review is from: Brain Quest America (Cards)
I didn't like this version very much. There are a few cards per state and questions about that state - a lot of not very common information. I thought it would be a lot of general questions about the United States and history, etc.

great fun!,
This review is from: Brain Quest America (Cards)
I absolutely love Brain Quest! My parents bought it for my sister and I when we were kids and we spent hours and hours on end going through them. They are a great way to learn new facts about things you never thought to learn about. I have my Brain Quest to this day and my sister and I, now in our early and mid twenties still pull them out every so often and test our knowledge! I recommend these for kids, teens and even adults!
