Destination USA is a board game in the best possible sense of the words. From its sprawling, brightly illustrated playing board to its simple, startlingly fun game play, every aspect is tremendously well thought out and contributes to the fun. Players use cards from their hands to navigate a playing piece around a large map of the U.S., picking up tokens and Destination Cards, both of which are worth points, along the way. There are strategies, both in terms of the order in which you play your cards (and thus move) as well as other decisions, but whether or not a player chooses, or is able, to employ them will in no way diminish the grand old time to be had here. And yes, it can be said that the game has an educational component, but it's just too darned fun for that to matter much to those playing it. Destination USA is a game you enjoy right out of the box, and it only seems to get better with each subsequent game! For 2 to 5 players.
