Coin Hopping – Washington DC - MuseumTour Catalog

Advice from the MuseumTour expert:
Playing games is a fun way for families to spend quality time together, or for friends to engage in a healthy competition. Games teach valuable social skills such as communicating verbally, sharing, waiting, taking turns, and enjoying interactions with others. They lengthen attention spans, sharpen focusing skills, and encourage attention to detail.

Tour Washington DC, Become President, Appoint a Supreme Court Justice and Take Control of Congress

The whole family will enjoy exploring our capital city. Using coins as stepping stones players wheel and deal their way across the city. Visit famous landmarks, monuments, art galleries and museums while trying to place your citizens in positions of power. If you control Congress you can even vote to change the rules of the game!

My kids loved this game! I loved it too. We learned so much about Washington, both geographically and politically! There are two levels of play which means we can adapt the complexity to who is playing or the time we have to play, which is nice.
