The Scrambled States of America Game is based on the book <i>The Scrambled States of America</i> by Laurie Keller (1998, Henry Holt and Company). Used by arrangement with Henry Holt and Company, LLC.<br />
Quick! Find a state that ends with the letter A. Now find one that borders Tennessee. Have fun learning about the United States in this madcap game of observation and quick reflexes. Collect cards by matching states to a Scramble card. Or "Go the Distance" and find a state's closest neighbor. Whoever scrambles to match and collect the most state cards wins.
Whoever said that learning about U.S. geography had to be boring must not have read The Scrambled States of America. We fell head-over-heels for Laurie Keller's hilarious story and knew that it had the making for a great game. As with her book, we hope our game provides a fun way to enrich basic knowledge of U.S. geography. Players learn the names, capitals, nicknames, shapes and positions of the states through a myriad of visual teasers, language riddles and geography challenges. After playing, you'll see that there's more to the 50 States than meets the eye!

"Frantic fun, loads of laughter and nail biting excitement are not phrases often conferred upon geography games. All that has changed based on the glowing reviews for the Scrambled States of America. This wonderful card game manages to captivate not only those playing but those within earshot, simply because there is a whole lot of slapping, shouting and name calling going on. Well, the name calling is the sound of your children calling out the names of states and capitals so it's good clean, educational fun. You, your kids and their friends will play this game many, many times over."
