Object of the Game
Be the first player to circle the board once, collecting every color wedge along the way, and get back to your personal Home Space. After you return, you must answer a final question correctly to win.
Assembly
Cardholder: Apply one colored wedge label to the top of each cardholder.
Set It Up!
- Separate the wedges by color and put each pile on the matching section of the board.
- Place the cardholders in the center of the board, in the order of the colored categories shown, and slide them into place.
Note: They do not snap together.
Category card decks: Each category card deck has its own slot in the cardholder. Every question on each card will be about the topic within that category. Put each deck into its matching slot in the cardholder so the card topics are always visible.
Pick a colored wedge holder that represents your favorite category. Choose wisely as you will have to answer a question from this category to win the game! Now place your wedge wheel on the matching Home Space of its color.

On your turn
- Roll the die and move clockwise around the board that many spaces.
- Look where you landed to see which card category to go for. See Board Spaces, Stumping & Scoring below.
- Before reading a question, look at the topic of the card and decide whether to STUMP or ANSWER. Stump if you're not sure you know the answer and want to challenge everyone else — if they get the answer wrong, you get the wedge. See Board Spaces, Stumping & Scoring below.

Things to Know Before You Play
Home Spaces
The moment you move past a Home Space, if you don't already have that wedge, take the matching wedge of that color and place it in your wedge holder!
NOT ON YOUR FIRST TURN!
NOTE: If you have a wedge of the next category's color already, skip straight to that Home Space...
Home Advantage
If you reach a new category and you already have a wedge of that color (as a reward for stumping the other players), you may slide your wedge holder all the way past that category to the beginning of the next category. If you already have the wedge from that category, do it again!
Where Did You Land?
If you landed on a Colored Space
Check the card topic, then...
| Choice | Result | Outcome |
|---|---|---|
| Stump the other players (if you think they don't know the answer)! Read out the top question on the card. All other players must reach a unanimous answer! Did they get it correct? | Correct answer ✔ | You stay where you are, and they all move forward one space! |
| Incorrect answer ✘ | Take a wedge of that color and move to its Home Space! | |
| OR | ||
| Answer a question of that color! (The player to your right reads the top card.) Did you get it correct? | Correct answer ✔ | Take a wedge of that color and move to its Home Space! |
| Incorrect answer ✘ | Ouch! Stay where you are! |
If you landed on a Wheel Space
Pick a category of any color! Check the card topic, then...
| Choice | Result | Outcome |
|---|---|---|
| Stump the other players (if you think they don't know the answer)! Read out the top question on the card. All other players must reach a unanimous answer! Did they get it correct? | Correct answer ✔ | You stay where you are, and they all move forward one space! |
| Incorrect answer ✘ | Take a wedge of that color. If you are currently on that color track move to its Home Space. If it's any other color, stay where you are! | |
| OR | ||
| Answer a question of that color! (The player to your right reads the top card.) Did you get it correct? | Correct answer ✔ | Take a wedge of that color. If you are currently on that color track move to its Home Space. If it's any other color, stay where you are! |
| Incorrect answer ✘ | Ouch! Stay where you are! |
Once the Question Has Been Answered
A. Your turn is over. Return the used question card to the bottom of its deck.
B. Play continues to the left.
Note:
- You may share a space with another player. The wedges can be stacked on top of each other.
- The custom die only goes up to 3.
Look up the board spaces as you land on them to find out how to answer, stump, and score wedges!
How to Win
After collecting one wedge of each color, immediately move your wedge holder on to the Home Space of your matching color. On your next turn, you must answer one more question correctly to win. (You cannot stump on your winning question.)
The player to your right must read from the card on the top of the category deck that matches your wedge holder.
- Correct answer? You win!
- Incorrect answer? Your turn is over. Stay where you are and try again next turn.
Play Again
We know it's tempting, but try to look only at the top question on each card as you are playing.
When you keep playing over and over again, you may draw a card with a top question you or other players have heard before. Simply ask the second question if this is the case.
Work your way down the card each time you get it again.
