What's a good Review Game other than Jeopardy?

I'm currently student teaching in a US. History high school classroom. We've learning about Immigration, Urbanization and the Gilded Age. I was wanting a good Review Game to give them, we've done Jeopardy with both of our last two test and I wanted something else I can do. The classes are about 25 students or so..... THANKS!!!What's a good Review Game other than Jeopardy?
You could try a watered-down version of Trivial Pursuit (draw the board with chalk or dry-erase at the front of the classroom and divide the room into teams). You might also try something like Pictionary, where the students have to illustrate answers to questions and their team has to guess what it is they're trying to express. Or, if you have access to a spinner from any board game, play a little wheel of Fortune (which, coincidentally, just happens to be paired with Jeopardy on ABC's prime-time scheduling anyway...).
