Camp (Education Outdoors game review)

We picked this game up from a local toy store when we were looking for an indoor activity on vacation last summer. It was an impulse purchase. It caught our eye because it claimed to be suitable for a variety of ages, and because it wasn't strictly a luck of the draw game. Besides, I'm fond of trivia and wildlife, so this game seemed to have it all. We have been pleased with the game. Calvin loves playing, and it's something that we can enjoy right along with him.

Camp is a fun trivia game. Participants roll dice and move forward as many squares. The square they land on determines whether they get to answer a trivia question, are sent (forward or backward) to the club house square and read a factoid, or sit and wait for their next turn. Each trivia card has four questions, each from a different difficultly level but all related to the same topic. The game can be played with three people in less than 30 minutes.

The cute game pieces and the board are very well made, and the questions are fun and interesting. Questions from the easiest difficulty level are extremely easy, while questions from the top level are challenging and at times obscure, but not on a par with Trivial Pursuit. Calvin is able to answer questions from the first two levels, and sometimes even the third.
