Evaluation comments:
“This is a very high quality game that feels high concept. I have never played a game that involves so much history, strategy, and fun.”
“The cards are broken up into categories with dates that range from the beginning to the end of the 20th century. Each yearly dated card has a fun fact on it from that year, e.g. 1951- Super Glue was invented. Under the facts, are a few sentences expanding your knowledge about the event.”
“There are quite a few components to this social studies/history game.”
“Some of the historical facts from the 20th century are things I’ve never even heard of e.g. learning about the Valley Curtain in 1972. We expanded our knowledge of some facts by googling them.”
“Once we got past the directions and started playing, it was simple to get the hang of it. SimplyFun.com also has a 10 minute video tutorial for those who don’t want to read the booklet.”
“My almost 10 year old really liked the historical facts. There were so many interesting inventions and art pieces that he wanted to learn more about.”
