Abstract
The present invention entails an educational and entertainment card game comprising a deck of fifty-one cards with each card containing the outline of a state and a two letter abbreviation of the state. Two or more players are each dealt five cards and given an option to exchange one card for another card in the deck. Each player then attempts to identify his or her cards by writing and correctly spelling the state represented by each card. The players then write and spell the state names backwards and underline any words contained within the backward spelled states. Finally, the capitol, bird, tree, and flower of each identical state are written down. A designated judge determines a time limit for play and awards points to each individual for correct written information. At the end of the time limit, a new hand is dealt and play continues until a player scores a predetermined number of points.
