16 Wildcards

How to play:

Let's say your friend plays Tennessee. What do you do? If you have a state card which borders Tennessee, play it! If you have a BORDERLINE® wildcard, play it and call it any state in the lower 48. Or you can try bluffing! Maybe your friend doesn't know that Texas doesn't border Tennessee!

Does Missouri border Tennessee?

The mini-map makes it clear!

Does Arizona border the Pacific Ocean?

What do you think?

If your friend plays Canada on South Dakota, is he bluffing?

You bet! Challenge him!

Additional geography games include the Europe/Middle East Edition, Africa Edition, and World Edition. All games are played similarly.

MAPTANGLE® WORLD EDITION

A cooperative game for ages 7 and up

Contents:

1 card deck consisting of 103 location cards
These include a mix of continents, countries, rivers, lakes, mountain ranges, deserts, natural wonders and man-made wonders

1 Maptangle® world map

Stretch your legs and your knowledge of geography on the 33 square foot Maptangle® map!
Play with one or more teams!

For each player's turn, the team leader draws two cards from the deck. The player must place his feet on the two locations indicated on the two cards. The player must stay on those locations until his next turn when he will move his feet, one at a time, to his next two locations.

Every player helps every other player find the locations - that way everyone is learning geography!

A team holds each other up, or helps each other as they stretch for a location because if a player can't make a stretch, if a player touches the mat with a hand or elbow, or if a player is blocked by the positions of the other players, the entire team is "MAPTANGLED!"

The game is over when a team has been "maptangled" three times or when the team has successfully "traveled" to all 103 locations in the deck!

Rules are on the bottom of the box in both English and Spanish!

HOPOFF!™ USA EDITION

A cooperative game for ages 7 and up

Contents:

1 card deck consisting of 48 state cards (contiguous states only)

1 HopOff!™ mat

1 HopOff!™ beanbag

It's geography hopscotch - hop on and you're off and learning about the geography of the United States!
Play with one or more teams!

For each player's turn, a team leader draws one state card from the deck. Standing on either the Pacific or the Atlantic Ocean side, the player has three chances to toss the bean bag onto that state.

When the player has succeeded in tossing the beanbag onto his target state, he hops from one ocean, across the map, naming aloud each state he hops on as he "travels" - that way everyone is learning their United States geography! When he reaches a state that borders his target state, he retrieves the beanbag and continues hopping off to the ocean on the other side.

The team wins when it has "traveled" to all 48 contiguous states!

Time your team for even more fun!

Play with the capitals only, or with both the states and the capitals for a real challenge!
