What kids are saying about the game:

"It was so fun, I forgot it was educational!"
~ Simon, 13 yrs old​
"Byron’s game is a great family game. It helps you learn how to say countries and know what continent they're in."
~ Laurel, 10 yrs old
"What I like about Byron's game is it helps me learn to pronounce the different countries." 
~ Colin, 7 yrs old
"It's fun because it's made by a kid."
~ Peter, 9 yrs old
"I like to play with my sister, my mom, and my dad."
~ Nate, 8 yrs old
"I really like the game because the maps were accurate, and I like how it is split into different categories, so it makes it a family game, so that everybody can play. The instructions were pretty straightforward. It was easy to understand and overall the game was really fun to play! "

What teachers are saying about the game

"My name is Marquita Curry, and I'm the assistant principal at a charter school on the west side of Chicago. My students had the opportunity to play Byron's game the last week of school, and they absolutely love it. Some of my third-grade teachers tried out the game with groups of their students and the students loved it. They said they learned so much and that they could not wait to learn more about some of the continents and countries that they were introduced to in the game. They also were really excited that a kid their age created the game. They thought that was so cool. And they wanted to know what other games of Byron's that they could try!"
Marquita Curry, Assistant Principal, Chicago Public Schools
"I am a second-grade teacher, and I’m also a parent to two school-aged boys, ages seven and eight. I played the game with six second grade students. Once the children picked up their country cards, they quickly realized that the countries’ cards were color-coded to match the continent that they were in. As an educator, this is an amazing feature to this game, and it allows younger kids the ability to play the game; it's accessible to them as well. Those children who need it a little bit harder also had the opportunity to do something that’s a bit more of a challenge to push them.
I would highly recommend Continent Race to both families and teachers. As a mom, this is on the top of our family game night list, and as a teacher this is definitely going to be integrated into my geography unit to help supplement that unit. I also will use this game to promote cooperative learning. I hope that you will enjoy the game as much as I did and my kids did and my students did."
Adrienne Ward, 2nd Grade Teacher, Chicago Public Schools
"What I really enjoyed about playing the game with younger children was the fact that the cards and continents are color-coded, so that made it so much easier for me as a teacher to help the younger children figure out which color they would need or which continent they would need. The great thing about the game is that immediately the children were learning so much about the country names and the continent names. Lots of repetitive vocabulary is a key way to get that knowledge to stick.
So I really enjoyed playing the game, the kids really enjoyed playing the game, [they] had a great time, [and] wanted to keep on playing as long as they could, and that was great—even children at seven years of age can do that. And that's very reassuring for those of you out there who maybe have a family with younger and older children. There are ways of making it even more difficult for the older children and also you could play with the younger kids as well, and it's a great family game, so if you haven't done so already, get out there, buy the game, and enjoy it."
​Andy Smith, Primary School Teacher and Owner of Andy’s Hub, Chicago

What adults are saying about the game:

"Continent Race has become a family favorite game in our household. My husband and I are absolutely thrilled that our 10-year-old daughter and our eight-year-old son absolutely love playing the game. Through playing, they have learned not only the countries and the continents but how to pronounce them. We also love the backstory of how this game was created."
~ Debbie G.
"It's terrific for the kids, it's educational, lots of fun! They will really enjoy it. But I'm here to tell you, you will enjoy it as well. It's a great adult board game, and you get to learn about places on this globe that, well, I for one didn't even know existed. It’s a great vacation planner as well. So if you can get it away from the kids for your adult party night, I suggest you do that. You'll enjoy it as well." 
~ Joe B.
"We had such a good time playing Byron's geography game. Everybody enjoyed it in different ways. It just was a lot of fun but we were all learning, and the boys really liked that it helped them to pronounce the different countries. Of course, they like the challenge round and had a good time trying to name all the countries that you could within the continent. It was pretty great to be able to do something educational while you were having a good time. It was really a lot of fun. Can’t wait to play it some more!"
~ Michelle S.

Really fun family game. We're a family of 4 and played in teams of 2 - 1 kid with 1 adult.

What an amazing game to add to our collection. Love how each continent has its own card board that lists all the countries in alphabetical order that makes it easy to find the mystery countries.

What a fun and low stress game for the whole family! This educational game teaches young and old all about the countries of the world. The boards and cards are bright and colorful and easy to understand. My 8 year old LOVED playing this game and left it out tonight so he can play again tomorrow morning. My 5 year old liked to match the country name on her card to the large continent cards. Perfect to practice her reading and budding geography skills. Absolutely buying a few more games to give to my children's school for rainy day classroom activities and for gifts.

★★★★★ Great, Verstaile Game
March 10, 2019 | Verified Purchase
I purchased this game as a birthday present for my (newly) six-year-old nephew, who has taken an interest in geography. While the game is a bit difficult for him to play, as instructed, there is a lot of room to improvise new ways of playing the game. He just enjoys organizing the cards by continent and finding each one on the continent maps that come with the game. It's a great concept and a lot of fun!
★★★★★ Truly great educational game

We're not generally a board game family, but this was gifted to us and our youngest BEGGED to play, so we did! Before we knew it, all 5 of our family members were involved and enjoying the challenge of playing (and learning! Shhhh!). It was a great evening. Definitely recommend!

★★★★★ A great game for people who want to learn Geography
February 21, 2019 | Verified Purchase
Our family loves this game, I have a degree in Geography and I wanted to share my love of the world and its cultures with my children. But, learning Geography starts with the basics of knowing where everything is before you can understand how environments and the people who reside there interact, and how conflicts arise from that. I wish I’d had this game to prepare for my location tests in college; studying would have been a lot more fun. Keep in mind that this game is NOT a mindless entertainment game. If you're not interested in learning Geography, this game will be tedious.
★★★★★ Entertaining and instructional​

This seems like a fun way to learn about the world! I currently have a 3 year old so we are not actually playing the game but im using the game board to teach her the name of each continent. im also using it as a matching game; it comes with the world map board game and nice thick 9x13 images of each continent so i can point to a continent and ask her to find the matching one. Their are many different ways to use this game for younger kids! The instructions are clear and the game is well made including the box to hold the game.

My family tradition is to play a board game or two on Thanksgiving ang Christmas-adults and kids. Continent Race was this year’s choice. Not only was it fast miving and fun, but we all learned quite a bit of geography.
We especially loved the flags of each nation depicted on the cards! The kids won (of course) but so did the adults.

Board games at our house don’t last long enough because they are usually a bit flimsy, and we use them a lot. This game however is sturdy and looks to hoid up to a lot of use We have fun playing because it's not complicated so the kids can easily play. The best part is learning (and re-learning) where the world's countries are.

Got it on Kickstarter, really attracted to the fact that it was invented by a young person! The game components have good quality; the map-work is very well done, even handling tricky "disputed" nations/territories well. Gameplay is easy to learn, with a couple variant rules/advanced play rules which allow for more challenge as your kids get smarter While your child does need to be able to read lin order to play by the basic rules), a child that cannot read can still play by collecting cards of the same color.​

★★★★★ My grandson loves the USA, its states, and intel about them.
March 28, 2020 | Verified Purchase
My grandson loves the USA, its states, and intel about them. He fell in love with the Great States game and mastered it in a couple of months. He love the format, which was asking questions about the states. The board provided answers and clues. To stretch his thinking beyond the USA, we searched for a game about the continents and countries. We found this one. We've only played once, but it appears he likes it. The requirement to state the countries name and continent is a good one. Pronouncing country names is a challenge and finding the continent that they are located is fun. I like the larger and country boards. He's using them as tools appropriately. The idea of achieving sets to win the game is less important. I'm not sure discarding cards is beneficial. Overall, we like it. I'm looking forward to playing with him again. I'm sure he'll have the continents, pronunciations and countries memorized soon.​
