U.S. History students between 12 and 16 years old. The game is entertaining, as well as educational, and therefore, will be enjoyed by adults purely for amusement. The game should be used as a supplement to text and class room lectures.
Students can play it either before a lesson on the subject matter as a preview or after as a review.
Students will want to play it whenever they have spare time during class time as well. The game has been structured in such a way that the participants are forced to read about the major war events described on the cards if they want to win. One card contains 13 clue facts about an historical U.S. war, while 13 other cards contain a short paragraph about a particular event in that war. Buried within the paragraph is a clue fact that closely matches one of the 13 clue facts. The paragraph is short so students do not need to spend a long time reading, but is challenging enough for them to experience the fun of searching for the clues.
