TRAVELING IN STYLE : Side Trips : America’s Game

So your kids have outgrown Candy Land, but they’re not quite ready for Trivial Pursuit? Facts-A-Nation bridges the gap with a history- and geography-based board game both children (8 and up) and adults can play, at different skill levels.

Questions are far-ranging, but include much of “capital” concern--for instance, “What’s the capital of Missouri?” (Jefferson City) and “Where does the vice president live?” (in Washington, D.C., of course--on the grounds of the U.S. Naval Observatory).

Facts-A-Nation is $24.95 at Rand McNally stores (in Century City, Glendale and Costa Mesa); phone orders, (800) 234-0679.
