Brain Quest America
"What European country ruled the 13 original American colonies?" "Is  Oregon's chief industry based on timber or coal?" "Did George Washington Carver  discover important new uses for apples, peanuts or potatoes?" Brain Quest, the  remarkable series of educational quiz cards, says, "It's o.k. to be smart!" In  this two-deck, 850-question game, kids age 9 and older are challenged on their  knowledge of America. Each card (they're attached so they fan out on a hinge) is  divided into six categories: Famous Americans, From Sea to Sea, Law of the Land,  Words & Music, Turning Points, and Here & There. Participants can play any  number of ways--with a partner, in teams, by themselves, keeping score or not,  choosing a favorite category, or playing the whole card. The questions are  challenging--yet shouldn't be over the heads of most young participants. Here is  the perfect antidote to a long car trip or a boring Sunday afternoon. And for  younger or older siblings, math whizzes, geography geniuses, history buffs, or  pretty much anyone with a thinking cap on, there's a Brain Quest out there for  you, too.
