(limited printing)


 Little Rhody & the Other 49
A book by Roberta Mudge Humble

A look at some of the more fascinating points about 49 of our states and how Rhode Island compares.  Loaded with color pictures of the best of America and, of course, Rhode Island. Based on the presentation given to the National Conference of Secretaries of State in 2010, this book will open your eyes and make you chuckle.  America is wonderful, especially Rhode Island.

Little Rhody & the Other 49

A New Rhode Island Game

Rhode Scholar trivia game
Limited printing of 2,000 games.

The third game that greatly challenges your knowledge of the many aspects of Rhode Island. ($12.00 in stores)

Rhode Scholar was designed after Rhode Test (2009) which sold out quickly.  It seems that Rhode Islanders delight in facts about their state. Scholar is more difficult than Rhode Test because it includes two new areas:  Rhode Island Villages and National Register Sites (in Rhode Island). These two categories occupy over sixty percent of the game. Besides these categories, the game includes Rhode Island people, cities & towns, sports, buildings, museums, and businesses. Printed in black ink on ivory paper, the game is meant to teach as well as amuse.  It comes in a cute metal box and includes a set of instructions for play.
