Very tricky strategy game. When you play a map card, you need to think what other players may play next. In this way, you try to memorize the location of each state and the relationship between them. The basic thought of the game is very simple, but I believe there are many other ways to play this game.
It did help me to know the state locations better. After playing this game for over five times, I could have a clearer image in my mind about where the states are, Especially the central part of US, where I never really focus on before.
Very good game design and play rules.
