TESTIMONIALS
A Coquitlam, B.C. resident enjoys Cards Eh! as a part of everyday life. Here is what she had to say:
To Whom it May Concern:
I guess I'll never know who I really bought Cards Eh! for. In theory, I bought it for my nephews (ages 6 and 8) but I'm getting a lot of pleasure from using the set with them. We blend the pleasure of playing games of chance with exposure to Canadian geography, culture and art.
It is quite fascinating how, even with simple card games, the children deepened their understanding of Canada. You start playing a simple game of Go Fish and somehow the terminology gets switched from asking for a '5' to asking for anything that goes with Manitoba. In every game I've played with my nephews, I've seen them mix and match the cards to gather more information about their country, Canada. For Myles, the younger of the two, the ability to lay out the provinces' shapes has proven to be especially suitable for his learning style and age.
I strongly recommend Cards Eh! as a good purchase for gift-giving occasions. The price of the gift is small in comparison to the benefits we have seen from using the cards. The highly detailed cards encourage conversation and investigation for people from all age groups.
I for one, will be adding it to our camping supplies. Next summer we may even be sitting on the banks of Newfoundland with our deck of Cards Eh! at our side: slightly worn from their usage on our travels across Canada.

A Richmond, B.C. teacher uses Cards Eh! in the classroom. Here is what she had to say:
Cards Eh! is an innovative game that teaches grades 1-7 students about Canada. This game can be played in many different ways by individual students, small groups or the whole class. Matching provinces to their flags and Coat-of-Arms symbols, helps players to learn facts about Canada and strengthens their knowledge of Canadian geography.
This game is a must for every elementary classroom.
