ABSTRACT:
A board type game utilizes a square game board having an outer perimeter track and an adjacent inner track, each formed by a series of adjacent squares. A square central portion of the game board is designated by five consecutively numbered circles. The four corner squares on the outer track are designated as starting squares and the remaining squares of the outer track are designated by repeated series of numbers one through five. Some of the squares in the outer track are designated as penalty squares. The squares of the inner track are designated similarly as the outer track, with the exception that the corner squares are designated as penalty squares. The game utilizes question and answer cards which are divided into five different categories. Each card is printed with the last name of a famous individual and a clue as to the individual's identity. The answer, which is the individual's first name, is also printed on the card. In the play of the game, each player moves a playing token about the outer and inner tracks to the central portion of the game board according to the throw of dice and the correct answering of the various question cards.
