Damn, that was my guess. I'm too slow.

Since my first guess was taken, um....

All are states with seaways/ports (Atlantic Ocean, Great Lakes, Mississippi River)

Nope, not the correct answer guys. A good way to tell how hard the set is going to be is to look how many points it is worth. So, you're going to have to dig a little deeper for this one. If you need it, I will provide hints. But in so doing, I will deduct 1 point from the total value for each hint I give out.

No, Massachusetts was an original colony.

Well, I for one would like a hint.

Okay, here's a hint (minus 1 point from total point value): without giving too much away, the best way to give you a little leverage is to tell you that all three of those states have the same "place" in them. (Maybe that enough of a clue, maybe that was more confusing.)

I am almost tempted to say that they are all board games, but instead, I'll say this.

Were they all made by Parker Brothers?
