However. (Example: What are the two states that start with the letter O.
I am very unimpressed with this company and will not be purchasing products from them going forward. Last time I checked Oklahoma was still in the United States).
Answer: Oregon and Ohio. My daughter decided to write the company an e-mail and nicely tell them about the issue and received no response.
My 8 year old daughter LOVES this game. we have come across numerous cards with incorrect answers on them.
I am very reluctant to keep playing this with her as I'm wondering how many other answers are wrong that we don't know about.
Are those correct, or misprints. Of course we can work around it, but it's unfortunate that the execution is so sloppy. Finally, for advanced play it recommends using the cards that are "starred" to indicate a question that older children should refrain from looking at the board. That being said, is it too much to ask International Playthings to proofread their questions. Ridiculous.
The answers are easy enough for them to handle, and the information really seems to stick. It makes me wonder about the ones we don't know (state birds)., however. Also, some of the pictures don't match what is on the card, which makes it tough for young kids when the directions say to match the pictures. Great concept, but this isn't nuclear physics. This game is fantastic for learning about the states and engaging young children in geography.
We came across a number of questions with incomplete answers, which are easy enough to fix when we know the answers. Not one of the questions has a star.
The outside looks good, though I have not opened it to see the inside :-P The service was great. Just received the package today.in plenty of time for Christmas. I love the fact that I received a tracking number for the package and that is arrived so quickly.
One of the categories is listed twice, and one is not there. The game was fun and challenging for elementary students and adults. The game is fun, but has a printing flaw on the spinner. It was an easy, but primitive fix to tape the correct category over the incorrect one.
I added additional states to the answers on a few cards to make them correct. For example, the answer given for "Name states with double N's in their name" omitted Connecticut. They're all right there on the map gameboard. Great States kept my nine-year-old's interest and it was fun for his parents, too. It's a good geography learning game.However, while playing the game for our first time, we encountered several game cards with incomplete answers. How hard would it have been for the game's creator to double-check the answers.
