2–6 players · 15 min

This is a simple trick-taking game that lets players become acquainted with the comparative size of the various countries. The cards are dealt equally among the players, cards left over are not used. Players do not look at the cards in their hand, and must hold them face down. All play the top card face up into the center of the table saying "France 213,000 square miles," or "United States 3,027,000 square miles" as the case may be. The player having the most square miles wins the trick. The player having the most tricks at the end of the game wins.
