ABSTRACT:
The African history card game includes a deck of educational cards. Each card has a front face with a fact, picture, question, and series of multiple choice answers each relating to a common theme, and a rear face having an alphabetic matrix of columns and rows concealing the correct answer. Point values based on the difficulty of the question on the particular card are provided on each card. Each card has a particular theme related to African history, e.g., geography, prominent individuals, history, inventions, science, engineering, sports, religion, culture, civil rights, agriculture, language, and music. The game may be adapted to other themes and subject areas, as desired. The object of the game is to determine the correct response of the choices on the front of the card, then find and point out this response in the rows, columns, and/or diagonals of the matrix on the back of the card.
