HappyGrace Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 Want to order one of these today for dd11 and ds8 but not sure which one is the best one to start with? Thanks! (xpost) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
................... Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 My reasons for doing Europe first: 1. Less to learn and more fun. 27 countries is easier and the game is more fun than the states or Asia game. 2. 70% of our history studies are in Europe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TengoFive Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 The United States is the easiest for us. Africa is pretty easy as well. Europe introduces ships, which makes it a little more difficult. Asia is the hardest for us because of the trains. My 7 year old can play the US and Africa by herself easily. I have to help her with Europe somewhat with Europe, and a lot with Asia. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bayt ul-Hikmah Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 We're preparing for an international move, so we'd like to polish our Asia geography. While there are obviously many countries in Asia, do you think this game would be enjoyable for an 8 year old? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mommy22alyns Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 I chose US because we're studying US History this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lots of boys Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 Where is the best place to purchase these? I know RR sells them - any place I can take a look a them? Do any retailers sell them in stores? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Embassy Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 We have Europe and Asia so far because we have studied those continents. My boys love them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lamolina Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 If you aren't ordering anything else from RR and won't get free shipping then I would look at them on Amazon, they are all around $20 with free Prime Shipping or you are almost to the free super save shipping.

Do any retailers sell them in stores? I've seen them at one toy store around here - not a chain, but the upscale independent kind. I think maybe a teacher's store too.

Omma Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 Can you play more than one game at a time? Can you combine Europe with Asia, for example, and play it all as one big game? We just got the Asia one for Christmas and we love it. But my son thinks it is too hard for him (I think he prefers faster moving games and this one requires him to plan ahead). I think it is a great, challenging game. To be honest, I didn't know where 1/2 the countries were, exactly, myself! :lurk5:, Brenda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aggieamy Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 We've got US, Africa, and Europe. We started with US and Europe because they are the most familar to us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
