We have Perspectives, and we like it. The basic premise of the game is simple, and it's very educational, but this game is only fun if you "make" it fun, kwim?

Thanks Julie-- games are about as "hands on" as my kids like, so i think we'd be able to "make" it fun ;) --do y'all have any favorite strategies for making it more fun? Or do you just decide that it WILL be fun? I'm betting we can do quite a bit w/ the cards......

We also own this. I agree with Julie that it's fun if you make it so.

It's an eye opener to learn what you do and don't know! I recommend it for those at least ten and up.

Yeah, we pretty much depend on attitude to make this one fun. A bit of friendly competition is also helpful--sometimes keeping a running "score" and appointing the winner "History King/Queen" until next time works. Corny, I know!

We do like it a lot overall.
