Want to reinforce some geography lessons? Flag Frenzy is a simple way to help get those flags memorized, and can easily be modified to help remember capitals, as well. Game play is very simple - two flag cards, each containing eight flags, are laid on the table, and the rest are dealt evenly to players. Players draw their top two cards, and try to find a flag on them that matches one on a table card. If you find one, say the name of the country, place your card on top of it, and draw another card. First player to run out cards wins! Want to make it harder? Say the name of the capital, or a well-known city in that country, before you can place the card. Set contains 57 cards with 56 flags represented. Winner of a 2012 Fat Brain Toy Award for History/Geography. ~ Mark
