Read the full game description

America turns U.S. trivia into an estimation game that welcomes imperfect knowledge. Each question has an answer expressed as a state, a year, or a number, and players place cubes where they believe it belongs. Exact guesses score best, adjacent answers can still earn points, and following the crowd may be safer—or may help everyone miss together.
