One day,all of the 50 United

States threw a party and decided to switch

places so that each could see another part

of the country. But after the states were

jumbled up for a while, things turned crazy...

Florida is freezing up north, and the

Atlantic Ocean is getting Arizona

all wet! The states need your help to find

their way home.

50 State Cards (blue)

50 Scramble Cards (re d )

4 U.S. maps

Object

The object of the game is to send the most

states home by correctly matching St a t e

C a rds to Scramble Cards. The player who

collects the most State Cards wins.

Setup

Gi ve each player a U.S. map for re f e rence.

Separate the cards into blue (State) and

red (Scramble) decks, then shuffle and

put both decks face down in the center

of the playing area.

Deal five State Cards to each player.

P ow inlace your cards face up in a r

front of you to form your “States Line.”

Take some time to become familiar with

your cards, re f e rring to the map to find

each state’s location. Also notice that

each card has a state name, state picture,

capital city and nickname.

Rules of Play

Capital:

Boston

Nickname:

“Bay State”

Massachusetts

N o, no, you two-

I told you already,

this is my part!

N ow get back

in your places,

the game is

about to begin.

Hi There,

I’m Sam. I’m assuming since you opened this

b ox that you’re in the mood to play a game.

Well, you’re in luck because I have a game for

you. It’ a game about this fine co u n t ry of ours.

I ’ll bet you’ve probably played a zillion games,

but this one’s a little different. Before you get

s ta rted, I’d be er do some et t x p l a i n i n g . . .

Go the Distance! Cards

When one of these ye l l ow

c a rds is re vealed, turn ove r

the top card from the St a t e

Deck and place it face up

on top of the deck.

Then, using the map, scan your states

and y to find the one that is the closestt r

n e i g hbor (the shortest distance away) to

the State Card that was turned over.

When you locate a state, pull that card

f o rw a rd out of your States Line so

that all players can see. The playe r

whose state is the closest wins the

round and sends both her state and

t h e state from the top of the State De c k

to her Home Pile.

If multiple players’ states seem equally

close, whoever was first to pull out her

state wins the round. (If it’s difficult to

tell which state is closest, use the ruler

on the “Go the Distance!” card to meas-

ure between state borders on the map.)

The winner of each round turns over

and reads the next card from

the Scramble Deck to begin

the next round.

Ending the Game

When the State Deck is depleted, all

players count the states in their Home

Piles. er has the most State CarW h o e v d s

wins. (Cards left in the States Line don’t

count.)

Rules for Young Players

& Early Readers

Set-up: Deal five State Cards to each

player as usual. But if in a four-player

game, deal only four State Cards to each

person.

In this version, it is not a race to be the

first player to slap a card when a Find-It

Card is revealed. Instead, all players that

can make a match get to send a State

Card home and draw a new one from

the State Deck. You may only match

one state per round, so even if there is

more than one match in your States

Line, just pick one to send home. All

other rules remain the same as above.

House Rules

Here are some ideas in case you want to

try different variations of this game:

Home State Advantage

If one of the cards in your States Line

shows the state where you live,

announce “I live here!” and send that

state home.

New and Improved

When you get a card with “New” in its

state name, you can switch that card

with another playe r’s card of your choice.

Let’s Play!

When all players are re a d y, the

p l a yer to the left of the dealer

turns over the top card of the Scramble

Deck, places it face-up next to the deck,

and reads it aloud. T h e re are two typesof

c a rds in the Scramble Deck: Fi n d - It and

“ Go the Di s t a n c e ! ”

Find-It Cards

These cards have various

challenges on them

re l a t i n g to the states.

They could be as simple

as matching colors or

as complex as finding

hidden words. When a Find-It Card is

revealed, all players race to match one of

their State ds to this card. er isC a r W h o e v

the first player to slap and announce the

name of the matching state out loud,

gets to collect that card. The winner puts

the state card in a “Home Pile” off to

the side (Each player has her own

Home Pile.) and draws a new card from

the top of the state deck to build her

States Line back up to five cards.

Feeling confused? Here are some

examples: If the Fi n d - It Card says

“Capital has a person’s first name hidden

in it,” and you haveKentucky (whose

capital city is Frankfort, with the name

Frank in it), in your States Line, slap it

and yell out, “Kentucky!” Or if he Find-

I et card says “Is Orange,” and you hav

Vermont (which is the color orange on

the card and map), slap it and

announce, “Vermont!” If you’re the first

player to slap and announce your state,

you win the round.

If more than one player has a match …

The first player to slap and say the

name of a matching state wins that

round and gets to send her state home.

But if two or more players slap and

announce matching states at the same

time, they both/all send their states

home and take new cards from the top

of the State Deck to build their States

Lines back up to five cards.

If no player has a match …

If no player has a state that matches,

everyone passes one of their State Cards

to the player on their left and puts their

new card in their States Line. The last

round’s winner turns over a new card

from the top of the Scramble Deck a n d

play proceeds as normal.

Slip Slaps

If you forget to say the name of your state

out loud when you slap it or you slap a

State Card that does not match the Fi n d -

It card, yo u’ve made a slip slap. As a

p e n a l t y, take one of your State Cards

f rom your Home Pile and put it at the

bottom of the State Deck. Remember —

accuracy is more important than speed!
