4.0 out of 5 stars My 6 Year old loves it, May 31, 2005

This game was purchased for my 6 year old daughter about a year ago. While it was a little advanced for her at that time, she has developed an interest in Ancient Egypt since and we pulled out the game. Last night we sat in a circle (daughter, me and her dad) and played this trivia game. We haven't found many trivia games that are fun for both adults and kids, but this one fits the bill. There are two sections of questions (hard and easy -- 3 in each section) and the object of the game is to get the highest number of cards -- if you answer a question correctly, you keep the card. A roll of the dice tells you which question to ask. We had a ball, and we are looking forward to trying some of the other Professor Noggin games. I really like that it not only gave my daughter information about the time she was interested in (Ancient Egypt) but also introduced her to Rome, Greece, Mesopotamia, China and Japan. The only thing that stops this game from getting a 5 star rating from me is that the questions get memorized pretty quickly, and at that point the game is not really interesting any more. When we have memorized all of the questions, I am going to donate the game to my daughter's elementary school.

It is an easy way to review or learn about Ancient Civilizations. The game is a deck of cards and one dice. There is nothing to set up just take the cards out of the box and your done. If we don't have alot of time, I pick a small number like 6 and say who ever gets six cards first win. If you are going on a trip, these games are small and easy to play anywhere. The other great thing about this game is if you do lose a card the game is not ruined. You could even play it in a car.

This game is abousolutly terrible, if you even call it a game. We had a party at my school so I tried playing it, my friends and me agree it was bad. Sure the game teaches lots of history, but not much action is involed. Their was no action involved. I would have rated this 0 stars but it only went down to 1. I don't even know what this suppose to be. All you can use are this giant playing cards with pictures and a dice that doesen't have pointy corners. This looks more like a box of flash cards.

I rated this game a 2 on durability because the cards did rip easy (Using common sense) and the dice was the only thing that got it a 2
