Categories

Setup
- Each player or team chooses a player token and places it on the centre space of the board.
- Shuffle the cards and place them in the card holder.
How to Play
- Decide who goes first. We suggest choosing the person wearing the most extravagant clothing!
- On your turn, roll the die and move that many spaces. You may move in any direction, but in one direction only.
- Take the card that is in the first position in the card holder.
If you land on a coloured Category space
- Find the question in your category (the colour of the space you landed on) and read the question aloud so that all players can hear it.
- Do you know the answer?
- YES: Turn the card over to reveal the answer.
- Did you get it right? YES: You win a wedge.
- Did you get it right? NO: You do not win a wedge.
- NO: Ask a friend.
- Choose another player to help you. If you use your friend's answer and it is correct, you both win a wedge.
- Turn the card over to reveal the answer.
- Did you get it right? NO: You do not win a wedge. YES: You win a wedge.
- YES: Turn the card over to reveal the answer.
If you land on a Wedge Wild space
- Choose your category! But do not read the questions first.
- Read the question from the category you chose aloud so that everyone can hear it. All players have the chance to "intervene" if they know the answer, by shouting: "I know it!" ("¡Yo lo sé!").
- You have the first chance to answer. If you do not get it right, the player who "intervened" first has the chance to answer.
- Note: On this space you cannot ask a friend.
- Turn the card over to reveal the answer.
- Did you get it right? YES: You win a wedge.
- Did you get it right? NO: Make sure you do not read the answer aloud. The player who "intervened" first can now give their answer to the question.
- Did that player get it right? YES: That player wins a wedge.
- Did that player get it right? NO: That player loses a wedge.
Ending the turn
- After the player wins a wedge: "Now it is the next player's turn."
- Note: the printed sheet gives the "You do not win a wedge" and "That player loses a wedge" outcomes without a next-turn line of their own. The next-turn line is printed only after a wedge is won, and it is transcribed as printed.
