ABSTRACT:
The invention is an educational board game and learning tool for children. The children learn selected attributes about a selected state in the United States. The educational board game has a color coordinated playing surface that is divided into five distinct major categories representing, at a macro level, the state's archives, famous people, natural history, cities and counties, and tourist attractions. The presentation of these categories at a macro level enables a child to quickly focus on one of five major categories. The invention has a state quester that when spun circumnavigates the playing surface of the invention. The state quester, after coming to rest, selects one of the five major categories that are juxtaposition the state quester. The state quester may also select one of the five award or penalty areas disposed about the playing surface. The questions asked the children or players are derived from the major categories.
