Title: Great family game that is quick to learn
Review: I am a fan of Alan Moore's biggest game hit, Ticket to Ride. It was one of the first games my family played that got us into "modern" gaming. When I saw that they had done a reprint of his early 2000's game "10 Day in the USA" I ordered it right away.The game is similar to Rack-O in that you are trying to get your 10 cards (representing the 10 days of the title) in order. Unlike Rack-O which is just numerical, in this game you are planning a 10 day trip around the USA as if you were doing it in real life. As such, there are certain restrictions; things like you can't take a car to Hawaii, you can't go from one state to another "walking" unless they are next to each other in real life, etc. This is where the challenge comes in and make the game a bit more strategic.Set up takes only a few minutes with everyone drawing their cards one at a time and placing them in the order they like on the card holder trays. It does require some thought and care as, once you put the card down it can't be moved after you pick your next card. Once that's done, turn over 3 cards to form the discard piles and game on!Each player can do up to 3 actions on each turn with the first action always being to draw a card (either from the discard piles or the face down deck). You can choose to discard the card you just took or use it to replace a card in your tray. You then discard that card. Simple. You can never move your cards in the tray, you MUST adjust your journey by replacing and discarding.The journey requires a state card in the first and last state. The cards must also, from left to right, be a valid way of travel between them. For example; "Walking" is when two state cards are next to each other. To walk, they states MUST have sides touching. If you want to go from California to Utah, no problem. If you want to go from California to Colorado, you will need a transportation card (cars/planes). This is where the game board comes in. Automobile cards will allow you to "skip" over a state but the destination state must share a border with either the state you are skipping or the state you are leaving from. Airplanes will allow you to fly from states with matching border colors (the exception being Alaska and Hawaii which aren't part of the lower 48 and share no borders with other states). The plane color must match the state you are flying from/to though.The board is not used in the game in any way except as a reference so you can figure out how to get from state to state. It does come in handy for younger players (or those of use who are geographically challenged!). The board is probably the only negative about the game. This is, at heart, a card game and the board, while useful, takes it from a small box game to a larger box. While it is made well, and is a nice touch, a folding page would have allowed it to be great to take along on an actual journey across the US!This game was a big hit with our teenagers. It was easy to teach and literally only took us 5 minutes to understand the rules and jump right into playing. It was surprisingly strategic as you want to try to plan your route not knowing what the next card you will get is going to be. At $30, I think it is a great addition to family game night, as a filler game between for your gaming group or a game to get non-gamers to the table. Definitely a good add to our library.

Title: Great Game!
Review: We've been playing 10 Days in Europe for years! We love having a different version to play. While, for the most part the rules are the same in both games, it's also got a few things different, which keeps it fresh and different. It's also a great game to play with children who are learning the states!

Title: Family Friendly Game
Review: This game is simple and fun for many ages. Easy for 2+ plus players. You can play many rounds because it is a short game, longer with more people but still not very long. Fun and educational on the US

Title: Great family game
Review: Great family game that helps kids learn US states and capitals. The game isn’t too long either. 30-45 minutes at most.
