The World Game - Geography Card Game - Fun Game for Easter - Educational Games for Kids, Family and Adults - Cool Learning Gift Idea for Teenage Boys & Girls 8-12 with Map

Great educational game

Fantastic game - one of the best I have bought - your kids will learn some geography! Easy to play for kids age range 8-14 yo in our household :) good value in my opinion.

Got this product for my aunt as a birthday gift and it was a lot of fun playing it with the family. So, I had to get it for myself as well. If you want to have a fun guessing where countries are, their capital city, and what their flag is, along with other factoids about them, then I highly recommend getting this game.

This product is billed as a game but that is not why I like it so much. Perhaps the idea is that learning can be a fun experience like a game but if a game is thought of as a competition then this is not how I see this product. I was able to learn all the 194 countries and, at this point, almost all the capitals and that was my reason for buying the cards. By the way, the cards are beautifully made and the flags look very good. Learning the countries was accomplished using my favorite method, the memory palace. You can look that up on YouTube. The first thing I did was to sort the alphabetically arranged cards to number order. Then I memorized the countries in a set of 100 and then 94 because my memory palace has 100 stations. Then by going through the cards I associated the countries and capitals. The only difficulty was when the capital was an unfamiliar name but those are becoming locked in with practice. The big payoff comes when using the map that comes with the cards. The map shows only the numbers. Since I know the number of every country I can identify every country on the map. With practice I should be able to look at any map and pick out the countries. I'm don't have a really good method to memorize the flags. For that I recommend the app Seterra which is a great way to learn all the maps. Using the cards and the app you can become proficient at recognizing the flags. It is somewhat helpful to have the population and square milage of the countries to give an idea of relative sizes. I have no idea what to do with the highest point. There is also the feature of giving the number of surrounding countries. That could be very interesting for someone who is able to visualize the map. More power to anyone that can make a game out of this. I think if it were just knowing the capitals of the countries there would be a lot of ties. I suppose if you found a comfortable way to cover the names you could compete on learning the flags. In any case this is a very useful, attractive educational tool.

My son asked for this game as a gift so i got it for him. We just played for the first time, and at the start it was a little confusing. The rules are pretty complex and it was tough at first to follow along. But once we got the hang of it, we had a lot of fun. My son is obsessed with this kind of stuff so he really got to show off his knowledge. I'm NOT as good so he really kicked my butt!

I've traveled all over the world.... years (can I emphasize YEARS) ago. Was humbling to play with my kids and mother. They thought I knew all the answers. How did I forget so many capitals and locations... and cities I've been in? And the flags... hmmm... we played a modified version of this for my kiddos. Also, they could pick "who has less surrounding countries" or "who has the lowest highest altitude" "least population" so it wasn't the biggest = best. (That made it MUCH more fun when we started doing that.) Reminded me of many facts I had forgotten. And kids got a hit out of learning and guessing. My 7 year old was on the brinks of not really being able to play with much meaning. We managed. But my 11 yo was much more fun. My mom was super fun. She also gave hints and (although that's not allowed), it was more fun, too! My teen that is not at all interested in family games was still just not interested. So good game. Not magical, but educational and fun. We've played it multiple times. It's also nice and small, so could travel well. Oh, and because it's so random that Slovenia is #1 country (what's the background story behind that??), whoever gets it wins that round automatically. That also makes it more fun and highlights a country that is rather overlooked.

My daughter and her family love the game!

The instructions are confusing and make the game too complicated.

This is a great game to play with the family. Easy and fun to play and with added bonus of being educational.

Fun game. Suddenly realize how less you know about other countries. Great for upskilling Geography and certainly a far more intriguing game than Uno :)
