1 game board, 494 cards with over 2,950 fascinating questions, timer, die, 36 wedges, 6 movers.

Object of the Game

Be the first player to collect all six wedges and answer a final question to win.

Get Ready

  1. Set out the game board, cards, timer, die, wedges, and movers.
  2. Each player selects a mover and places it on any matching color.
  3. Now you're ready to play! Choose who goes first.

On Your Turn

  1. Roll the die and move the number of spaces indicated. You may move in either direction.
  2. The player to your left reads aloud the question that matches the category you landed on and starts the timer.
    1. If you answer correctly before time runs out and you are not on a wedge space, take another turn.
    2. If you answer correctly before time runs out and you are on a wedge space, you collect that color wedge and take another turn. If you already have that wedge, play continues as if it were not a wedge space.
    3. If you answer incorrectly or you run out of time, it's the next player's turn.

How to Win

Once you've collected all six wedges, roll and move to the center space. You must land on it exactly. The other players choose your final category. Answer the question correctly to win. If you answer incorrectly, you may try again on your next turn. You do not need to roll and move again once you are in the center.

For a Quicker Game

Collect a wedge any time you answer a question correctly — not just on wedge spaces.
