Learning at Its Best!
My students cannot wait to come to the Reading Center and play this game. They have learned so much about the different customs and traditions of other cultures as well as traveling around the world. A terrific learning tool!

Sounds good
We homeschool our children and are always looking for new and exciting ways to make a boring subject interesting. Teaching history though games sounded like a good idea, but my son thought it was boring. We ended up teaching history by reading historical fiction books. It proved to be a much better way.

Love this game
My brother & I use to play this game when I was in middle school. Now,looking back, as a junior, who took already took AP World History in freshman year and Geometry in middle school, I can say this game helps A LOT! Although the cases are made for children to play and have fun, you'd be surprised at how much this game teaches. In AP World it helped to have a background on the various historical events in this game. It was a foundation to build up upon and it (the game) motivated me (in some of the cases I liked) to learn more about the actually historical events.
In geometry, at the begining of the year, we learned about the Egyptians and the Greeks and their contributions to Geometry. Surprisingly, this game covers most of what my teacher covered, and more.
Great help for school!
Definately recomend this game for any and everyone who is thinking about it.
