Product Description

BORDERLINE USA Edition is a card game consisting of 73 cards that teaches US geography in a fun and interesting way. Play is similar to Crazy Eights, and the object of the game is to get rid of all your cards first. As a player plays a card (which may be a state, bordering country, or large water body), other players try to match its borders with cards from their hand. You can try bluffing (claiming that your card matches when you know it doesn't!), but you might get challenged and have to take them both back. Because each card contains a map, it doesn't matter what knowledge level you start with - as you play, you learn. 2-4 players, ages 8 and up.

We highly recommend this game to anyone wanting to learn geography. I recommend you play as a family so that your knowledge base grows together. In the beginning the play is slow , but by no means boring. It takes time to become familiar with the geography and even when it is not your turn you are investigating the geography of the others plays with the cards in your own hand. My daughter (at age 8) could fill in a blank map of the US without hesitation as a result of this game alone. She is motivated now to play the game learning the states with their capitols. It is a fun and easy way to learn geography and have quality time with your family. I would highly recommend this game to homeschoolers as well. Great way to build a foundation for geography. We have the World Borderline ordered and on its way!

This was the beginning of geography games for our family (after simple map jigsaw puzzles). The game challenges us to learn more geo boundaries and is fun to play with a mixed-age group. We get to help one another make and fake (bluff) the "challenge!".
