Frequently Asked Questions

Are the capitals accurate?

Yes, every state is paired with its official capital city (the one where the state legislature meets, which is often not the biggest city).

Why is D.C. included?

Washington, D.C. is a federal district rather than a state, but geography games almost always want it in the mix. It has no state capital, so it's marked with a dash.

Can states repeat in one draw?

No, states are drawn without replacement within one roll.
