The '''''American Girls Game''''' is a [[List of Generic American Girl Items|board game]] released in '''1999''' and later [[Retirement|retired]]. Retail cost was ''$28.''

==Overview==
The game features the then-available historical characters: [[Felicity Merriman]], [[Josefina Montoya]], [[Kirsten Larson]], [[Addy Walker]], [[Samantha Parkington]], and [[Molly McIntire]].

Gameplay includes movement around the board, answering trivia questions, collecting tokens, and matching "Trade" cards into sets by character. The first player who makes it to their character's home with the correct number of token and trade card matches wins; the number needed is variant on the number of players, with less of each item needed with more players in the game.

==Game Contents==

===Board===

Tri-folded game track board; obverse is red with gold lettering of "The American Girls Game" when folded.

Track side has paths around board with an inner and outer track. It shows characters, references to event in the character's [[Central Series]], and spaces for various actions such as pulling trivia cards, token loss or gain, trade card earning, character home spaces, and turns lost/earned.

===Player Pieces===

Six silver metal player pieces, each molded to resemble the walking pose of the character as seen on the cover of the [[Central Series#First_Style:_Parchment_.281986-2000.29|first style]] of [[Meet Books|their meet book]].

===Game Dice===

Two red six-sided dice with white pips.

===Symbol Die===

White six-sided die with character dingbat symbols; each symbol represents a character's "Home."

===Timer===

Dark red and clear plastic minute timer with white sand. The timer is used to time item card trades.

===Trivia Cards===

Tan trivia cards with the character image; obverse has three trivia questions about the pictured character from the Central Series with answers upside down in the bottom right corner. The questions range in difficulty from easy to hard.

There are twenty-eight trivia cards for each character for a total number of one hundred sixty-eight trivia cards.

===Trade Cards===

One hundred twenty-six red and white ''Trade Cards''.

Each character has eighteen cards--six each of characters, places, and objects and two "Wild Cards" that can be used in the place of other items. All the cards reference only the character's meet book.

The goal during gameplay is to match three cards for a character: either three of the same type or one of each type card (with wild cards used to match the character). There are also six "Open Trade" cards that, when played, start a one- or two-minute round of players trading cards among each other.

===Tokens===

Plastic tokens in character colors:

* Dark Green (Felicity)
* Orange (Josefina)
* Brown (Kirsten)
* Rust Orange (Addy)
* Maroon (Samantha)
* Blue (Molly)

There are twenty-five for each character, and are sorted into plastic storage bags. Tokens are earned moving around the board.

===Guide Book===

Rules and Tips booklet which explains instructions of game play, win conditions, and additional play tips.
