This fabulous WOMEN IN HISTORY quiz card game contains individual, beautifully illustrated cards of forty of the greatest women throughout history to the present day from Cleopatra to Angela Merkel.
Each card is illustrated to represent the individual Woman in history and shows her dates, her flag of birthplace and seven gripping facts about her, including a joker fact about each character to surprise and/or entertain. History Heroes: WOMEN in history represents a fantastic, diverse range of amazing women.
Many characters will be familiar to all – from Cleopatra to our present-day Elizabeth II; from Catherine the Great to Margaret Thatcher. There are female monarchs, political leaders, scientists, artists, writers and performers. There are explorers and campaigners too, many who have risked their lives for their causes. All are inspirational and all have contributed significantly to the shape of our world today.
There are many ways of playing the History Heroes: WOMEN in history card game. We provide suggestions in the box on how to play and you can make up your own rules too if everyone playing agrees to them! The aim of any History Heroes game is simple: you win the game by winning the cards and you win the cards by guessing/knowing the facts. You can use the images as clues and you can use the different levels of facts to make it as easy or as hard as you want to play the game. Different people can play on different levels of fact within the same game so that all ages and stages can play together. The green facts are the easiest working down to the red facts, the most difficult. You can, of course, use the joker fact at the bottom, too, to overrule them all!

James describes the way he paints as 'energetic, with getural, spontaneous marks and sweeping strokes'. The changing mood of his subjects always compliment his painting style.

This is a relatively simple board game which relies on a little bit of logic and a lucky roll of the dice to win. It's a great game to play and is educational for younger players as it will increase their knowledge of the geography (major towns and cities) of England and Wales.
For 2-4 players, each player is given a set of cards with the names of cities on them. Players then have to roll the dice and move a counter around the board in order to visit each of the cities listed on the cards that they have been given in whichever order they choose and successfully return to their starting point to win. There are various obstacles around the board to make things more interesting.
It's a deceptively simple idea but it can be fiendishly difficult to accomplish, especially if the dice is not on your side. The skill part in the game comes from planning the most efficient route around England. The board and pieces have a nice `30s retro feel. The stylish board is sturdy, the counters are wooden pointers with little wooden cut out cars on them.

The poem, which is subject to copyright, was written by award-winning Bespoke Verse poet Joanna Miller and the eye-catching typographic design was the creation of Russet and Gray.
The poem reads:
What is a Friend?
A winer, a diner, an outfit designer
A meeter, a greeter, a chocolate eater
A debater, relater, a smile reinstater
A lift provider, an on-your-sider
A diva, a bopper, a tireless shopper
A snorter, a sniggerer, infectious giggler
A baker, a caker, a mate mickey-taker
An ally, a sister, a gentle arm twister
A lip-gloss provider, a secret confider
A texter, a writer, a party inviter
A colleague, a carer, a problem-sharer
A cocktail blender & cheeky rule bender
A gossipy chatterer, forgiver & flatterer
A handbag borrower, a ring-tomorrower
A ‘stop for a cuppa’, a date fixer-upper
A listening ear, a loyal volunteer
A welcome inquisitor, spare bed visitor
A misser, a kisser, a cinema hisser
A birthday surpriser & cherished adviser
A laugher, a kidder, anxiety ridder...
That’s what makes a friend!
