I have Snapshots across America and used it for years with my own children years ago homeschooling. It not only taught my children about their states, but it helped them to learn which ones were north, south, east, or west. However, through this game I too, now, know where my state are located across the country. I am a visual learner so this helped me as much as the children. On top of it all we had fun playing this game! Now years later and I am purchasing this for my grandchildren.

This game was a hit with my children growing up. Now they are requesting it for their families. A nice, short competition between siblings with great travel info. We always play this when we get together! Also you have the best price!

Is this the whole game or only an expansion pack to add to the base game that you buy seperately?

Great Game for the Family
Bought this game for homeschooling my 6 year old (1st grader) to reinforce our study of the US. She’s quickly picked up where the states are located. Now she’s focusing on strategy, namely the fastest routes to her desired destinations.

My husband, father, and I enjoy playing the game with her. We’ve learned some new historical and tourist sites too. Clever idea to have the weather and travel alert cards.

Highly recommend regardless of homeschooling or public or private schooling.

This game was purchased as a family Christmas gift to remind us of our recent road trip summer vacation.

My 5 year old adores this game. I actually have hidden it for a few days because we have played it multiple times a day every day for 22 days. My husband and I are getting a little burnt out lol.

He’s learned a great deal about national monuments in states we didn’t visit and we enjoy talking about the states we did. He’s changed the rules a little to make the game longer since it goes really quickly. We like that it’s flexible enough to do this.

Great game! Not too complicated for young kids as long as they can read. My 4 year old who does not read will not sit for the game even if she’s playing with help. My son insisted on playing this game at his 6th birthday a few weeks ago. His 5 and 6 year old friends were uninterested, but his 7 year old friends enjoyed it.

Hope this helps!
