TerraCarta USA is a truly unique and absolutely irresistible deck of geography-themed playing cards. Each card sports a superbly detailed custom map of one of the fifty states. The cards deliver fascinating facts about the states, including flags, important cities and towns, rivers, lakes, mountain peaks, national parks, historic sites, and many other fun features. And all of this information is displayed on the beautiful, delicately shaded relief maps that are the heart of TerraCarta.

The District of Columbia and US territories are included in the playing card coverage. A two-sided map and playing card index, an informational key card, and a wild card that shows the entire United States of America in a striking global perspective fill out the complete deck of fifty-five cards.

With a full set of traditional suits and ranks TerraCarta replaces standard playing cards for popular games, such as gin rummy, hearts, and crazy eights. Plus the TerraCarta deck is an endlessly fascinating set of quiz and flash cards.

We developed this game at the urging of teachers who, while praising the content of our popular TerraCarta USA playing cards, wanted a product more suitable for classroom use. The result is the States of the Union game. The maps are much larger so that kids and grandparents will have an easier time reading place names. The playing card pips have been removed, and we have added rules for two fun, fast-paced quiz games.

Learn the States! Playing the States of the Union game can foster a new curiosity about our country among children of all ages. Great for Travel! Contents include cards of all fifty states plus the District of Columbia in superb detail – state flags, mountains, rivers, national parks, historic sites and a fold-out map of the United States. The full deck also makes a fascinating set of flash cards. Can you name the “Grand Canyon State”?

As with all of our products, we have followed the successful model of dynamic packaging design, educational value, and a commitment to the concept of helping kids develop a good mental map of the world through game play.
