Hit the road with Let's Drive!

Let me start by saying that S loves geography! We've been planning a road-schooling trip with another family for the past month and S is beyond excited about traveling. When Let's Drive arrived he was more than ready to open it and play as much as possible. I lost track of how long we played this game, but he loved every minute of it. It was great watching S learn new facts from the different states he traveled to. I also loved watching him work out his strategy on how to get from location to location in the least amount of moves.

The idea is to travel around the USA and collect destination cards with state facts on them, though you only have a limited amount of moves each turn so you have to make sure you use them wisely. If someone else lands on one of your locations you can get postcards from them too. Also, if you collect sets of destination cards you can get bonus cards which offer extra points, extra moves, and other fun things to make the game more interesting. The game ends when someone reaches 16 points, though we played to 32 the first time because S wanted to keep playing. The recommended ages are 8+, but if you have a child who is enthusiastic about traveling and geography I don't see why a younger age should limit anything. Do note that the pieces are small cars and the point chips are small so children who might put pieces in their mouths should be supervised during game play. This game is great for geography, learning state facts, and strategy.
