Each card is fantastically illustrated to represent the specific Child Hero and shows their dates, their flag of birthplace and seven memorable and often moving facts about them.
History Heroes’ Children range from leaders, such as the ‘boy king’, Tutankhamun, Joan of Arc and the Dalai Lama to campaigners, such as Malala Yousafzai, the nineteenth century Match girls and America’s civil rights campaigner, Claudette Colvin, who, aged 15, led her own protest on a bus against segregation in Alabama nine months before Rosa Park’s famous stand for equal rights. Child prodigy performers and artists such as Mozart and Picasso rub shoulders with Shirley Temple and Stevie Wonder. Children, who led extraordinary lives, such as Laura Ingalls Wilder, Helen Keller, Victor of Aveyron & Mary Anning mingle with Child heroes, who simply ‘made’ history: Lady Jane Grey, the Princes in the Tower, Victor of Aveyron, Louise Brown…the game contains an extraordinary, inspirational range of boys and girls in history.

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.
