Game Components

300 cards with 1,800 questions and answers, 100 cards with 300 tasks and 100 photos, a double-sided game board, 6 figures, 36 Oscar tokens in six colours, a die, hourglasses, and rules for both game variants.

Goal of the Game

In this game you try to answer questions correctly from six different rings. You move your figure on the game board, and the space where your figure ends its movement determines the ring of the question you will answer. If you end your movement on the American films space, you will answer a question about American films. Each time you answer correctly, you receive an Oscar token in the colour of that question's ring. The goal is to collect six tokens in six different colours.

Once you have collected all six different tokens, you may head for the central space. If you correctly answer the final question, you win.

Question Cards

For this game you will need all 400 cards. The questions are divided into six different rings: American films / European and other films / creators / actors / series / photos. Each card contains six questions, each from a different ring. The rings are marked on the cards and on the tokens. They are also marked on the spaces of the game board, so there is always a clear ring from which the question you are answering comes (figure 2).

The correct answer to each question is printed on the back of the question cards. For the first five rings there are always three answer variants (a, b, c), but only one variant is correct; it is printed in bold. Before the game, agree whether these answer variants will be used during play. You can either give the answering player a choice of three answer variants (they can at least guess the correct one), or require them to give the correct answer outright.

The question from the 6th ring asks you about something in a specific photo. Find the corresponding photo by the number on the card in the pile of task cards (on the back of each task card is a photo). In this ring there are no answer variants. There is only one correct answer, printed on the back of the question card.

Setup

1. Shuffle the question cards and divide them into roughly as many equal piles as there are players who will play. Each player takes a pile and places it in front of them, with the questions face up.
2. Set aside the pile of photo cards (ideally sorted by number).
3. Each player chooses one figure and places it on one of the corner spaces of the game board (figure 1). More than one figure may stand on the same space.
4. All players roll the die. The player who rolls the highest number begins. The other players continue in clockwise order.

Gameplay

When it is your turn, roll the die and move your figure on the game board by the number of spaces rolled, in any direction. The space where your figure ends its movement determines the ring from which the question will be taken. If your figure ends on one of the corner spaces (the Oscar symbol in figure 1), you may move your figure to any space on the board.

The player to your left then takes a question card from the bottom of their own pile and reads the question from the ring you landed on. One of the following three outcomes occurs:

• If you do not answer or answer incorrectly, your turn ends and the player to your left plays.
• If you answer correctly, you receive a token in the colour of the corresponding ring and place it in front of you. Your turn ends and the player to your left plays.
• If you answer correctly a question from a ring for which you already have a token, you do not receive another token (no player may have more than one token of the same colour), but you gain an extra turn. Roll the die again and move your figure by the number rolled. The player to your left takes another question card and reads the question from the ring on which your figure ended its next movement. In this way you may continue your turn for as long as you keep answering correctly.

At the end of the turn, the question card that was used is removed from the game. The used photo card is returned to its place in the photo pile.

Path to Victory

When a player has collected all six different tokens, in their next turn they may choose to move to one of the corner spaces, which they select on the way to the centre. Along the way, they answer questions as usual, and a correct answer may give them an extra turn as described above. If the player rolls a higher number than they need to stop on the chosen corner space, they may stop on it. In any case, their turn ends there.

From their next turn, the player no longer rolls the die. They move onto the first question space towards the centre of the board (figure 3). Moving further towards the centre is possible only if the player correctly answers the question on the space where their figure currently stands. The rings of the questions are also marked on these spaces.

• If the player does not answer or answers incorrectly, their turn ends, their figure stays where it is, and the player to their left plays. In the next turn, the player answers another question from the same ring.
• If the player answers correctly, they move their figure one space towards the centre. Their turn ends there. In their next turn, they answer a question on the next space.

Winning

If a player has correctly answered the questions on both spaces between their corner space and the central space, they advance their figure to the central space (figure 3). In their next turn, the player answers one question from a ring chosen by the player to their left. That player chooses the ring without looking at the questions beforehand.

• If the player does not answer or answers incorrectly, their figure stays on the central space. In the next turn, the player answers a question from a ring chosen by the player to their left again. This ring may be different from the one in the previous turn.
• If the player answers correctly, they become the winner (the Film Expert).

Variants

1. Outer ring only. Play only on the outer ring of the game board. The player receives any Oscar token each time they answer a question correctly. The game ends when all tokens have been collected. The player who collected the most tokens wins.
2. No game board. Only the question cards are used. The ring is chosen by rolling the die (1–6); assign the numbers 1–6 to the individual rings. If the player answers correctly, they keep the question card. The winner is the player who collects the most question cards within a time limit agreed in advance.
3. Clockwise movement only. Move the figures around the game board only in a clockwise direction. This lengthens the game by several questions and makes it depend more on the dice.
4. Teams. You may also play in teams. Before the game begins, however, decide whether team members may advise each other when answering questions.
5. Action variant. When a figure ends its movement on a space where another player's figure stands, and the player whose figure ended its movement answers the question correctly, that player may choose, instead of receiving a token or an extra turn, to take any token from the player to whom the other figure belongs and give that player one of their own tokens in exchange. The rule still applies that no player may have more than one token of the same colour.

Party Game

Use the game board with the stage-career motif and the winning "Hall of Fame" space.

Goal of the Party Game

In this game your goal is to advance step by step from the position of background extra (kompars) to the Hall of Fame. Your career should develop as follows:

• Background extra (kompars)
• Actor in a toothpaste commercial
• Actor in the soap opera Esmeralda
• Supporting role in the film Propadák
• Leading role in the film Titanic Rescue (Záchrana Titanicu)
• Your own star on the Walk of Fame
• Oscar winner
• YOU ENTER THE HALL OF FAME!

To do this, you must complete various tasks: either correctly answer a question from the field of world cinema, or complete some task.

Setup (Party Game)

Use the game board with the worn-path motif. Place the well-shuffled question-card deck and the task-card deck on the corresponding spaces of the game board (the backs of the task cards show photos from films).

Split into at least two teams with at least two members each. Each team has one figure, which is placed on the starting space with the suitcase symbol.

Gameplay (Party Game)

The team that has the person with the greatest acting experience on the team begins. That person rolls the die, which determines which question the players must answer (this is the requirement for moving up a space).

If the die shows one, the team must answer a question from the American films ring, and so on (see the table on the game board). The opposing teams take the top card from the question-card deck and read the given question aloud. If the team answers correctly, it advances to the next space. If it does not answer correctly, it stays in the same place and the next team plays. In this way, the teams take turns completing tasks and answering questions.

Question Cards and Answers

The questions are divided into six different rings: American films / European and other films / creators / actors / series / photos. Each card has one question from each of the six rings. The correct answer to each question is printed on the back of the card. Which question you must answer is determined by the roll of the die.

The question from the 6th ring asks about a specific photo. Take one card from the bottom of the task-card draw pile. You must state the title of the film from which the photo on that card comes. The correct title can be checked on the back of the card. After use, place the card on the discard pile.

Task Cards (the backs show film photos)

Each task card has three tasks written on it: speaking, pantomime and drawing, plus the terms you must act out.

Speaking – You must describe the given word written on the card without using the root of that word. Your teammate(s) must guess it within the time limit of the hourglass.

Pantomime – You must act out the word on the card without speaking. Your teammate(s) must guess it within the time limit of the hourglass.

Drawing – You must draw the word on the card. Your teammate(s) must guess it within the time limit of the hourglass. Letters and numbers may not be used.

Photo – Take a card from the bottom of the task-card draw pile. You must state the title of the film from which the photo on this card comes.

The team that reaches the Hall of Fame first wins!

Caution! Most levels consist of several tasks. To advance higher, you must complete all tasks at that level.
