Civil
Lore! – The Game of American Culture by EVOLVING
TOYS LLC
Call me
old school, but products such as Civil Lore! which bring us back to
America as it should be, and once was, thrill me! Civil Lore! leaves
the normal trivia behind, and brings to the family table a game of
American Tradition and Folklore... along with a great game board,
which brings an added challenge to each game played.
Players move around the board, answering the question for the space
they have landed upon, which corresponds to the over 2,000 questions
on the game cards. Land on a Cannon Fodder question and if answered
correctly, you may zip across the game board, and steal the flag of
someone else who has landed prior to you, and plant your own flag of
victory. Players are encouraged to play in teams, to increase their
success in play. A lighter version set of rules come with the game
which makes it easier and less time consuming for those who have a
hard time with the full version gameplay.
Some of the question classifications are as follows: [[ Secret
Natures ]] which contains questions involving native american myths,
national parks, legendary creatures, and amazing oddities. [[ Town
Halls ]] which contains questions involving iconic Americana,
president lore, dumb laws, holiday traditions and local customs. [[
Country Roads ]] which contains questions involving folk heroes,
roadside attractions, appalachian ways, and old western sayings. [[
Modern Airwaves ]] which contains questions involving behind the
scenes, radio days, notable eccentricities, and business of
Hollywood. [[ Urban Scenes ]] which contains questions involving
urban legends, funny subcultures, fads and trends, great ballparks,
and literary gems. [[ FutureScapes ]] which contains questions
involving changing times, origins of everday things, technoculture,
and future visions.
What I love most about the game is the questions and answers it
brings to play are not only at times challenging, but down right
interesting. You learn about the country in which we live and
multiple things about the states it is comprised of. Reading the
Country Roads section of the cards will make you want to jump in the
car and go to see in person some of the great attractions it speaks
of ... many of which I had never heard of before.
This game is great for all ages, and all ages can play together. A
lot of fun for mom, dad and kids to spend an evening discovering the
many treasures of the USA ... or for a group of friends to enjoy
together as well.
The game is quality all the way in construction and is complete in a
beautiful gift worthy box. Now you can give a meaningful gift to
friends and family be it for a birthday or the holidays. This will
be a treasured find they will appreciate for years to come. Civil
Lore! would also make a great addition to any public or private /
homeschool history or social studies classroom.
