New Game: Patriot Challenge

An all-new board game called Patriot Challenge™ is a board game that celebrates America using reproductions of U.S. postage stamps to help tell the story of our nation and test game players' knowledge of the United States of America. Patriot Challenge™ is the first game about America to feature U.S. postage stamps.

Included among the 64 U.S. postage stamps are those that highlight significant events such as the Pilgrims arriving on the Mayflower, the Boston Tea Party, the Civil War, The Great Depression, and the Turn of the Century. Important advances like the Age of Flight, the Automobile Era, communications, and computer technology are also featured, among others. And the most recognized symbols of the nation are included: the Statue of Liberty, Lincoln Memorial, Capitol Building, Mount Rushmore, the American eagle and the American flag.

Patriot Challenge™ was created by a former sales and marketing executive, Christine Nelson. “My focus with Patriot Challenge™ has always been on having fun and learning something along the way,” says Nelson. “While I was not a history buff before I conceived the game, developing it has given me a greater appreciation for our country, our system of government, and the freedoms we enjoy. If that happens for those who play the game, it will be my contribution making a difference.”#
