Ancient Civilizations Game

    Ancient Civilizations is a great game to play if you want to be quizzed on the topic ancient civilizations. To play the game just roll the die and ask the question. you keep the card if you get it right. The one with the most cards at the end of the game wins!

Ages 7 & up
    Here are the things that we liked most about this game. It's great that it quizzes you on ancient civilizations, because quizzing makes you smarter and ancient civilizations is a great topic. Also, another thing about this game is that it doesn't take up much space. It's compact so you can even travel with it. Last, but not least, is the quality cards. They're made of heavy card stock so they'll last long, and they're illustrated with nice pictures.
Card
These are three things that we liked most about this game.

    There are also the things we don't really like about this game. One thing is that you can't play by yourself. the cards are designed with answers next to the questions. This makes it difficult to quiz yourself. Another thing is that there is not enough game play. The game only consists of asking questions about Ancient Civilizations. There's not a lot of action. Finally there is not much difference between the hard and easy questions. For example , one of the hard questions asks,"What two rivers were essential for the survival of Mesopotamia?"  This is a basic question that should be considered easy.
The Compact Box
These are the only three things we found in this game that we didn't like.

    So, even though you can't play by yourself and there is not a lot of game play, the game is meant to last long and make you smarter. This is a great game to play that's all about ancient civilizations.
