Abstract:

A game board for two to four players which eliminates virtually all aspects of luck and requires both knowledge and skill as to the strategy of play includes a generally square game board consisting of a plurality of squares which are arranged in a matrix fashion and include a plurality of game question cards. A Pocket is formed on each square and a question card is placed faced down in each square. To start play a question on a challenge list card is read to all the players. The question has several correct answers. The players list as many correct responses as they can. The player with the most correct responses has the right to move first along the spaces. The number of spaces to be moved directly corresponds to the number of correct responses. In order for a player to move and remain on the advanced square, the question corresponding to the game question card on that square must be answered correctly then that player's turn is over. The other players in order, depending on the number of correct responses, similarly advance their playing pieces.
