ABSTRACT:
The game apparatus includes a plurality of player position marking pieces, a game board having a playing area with an endless path arranged to divide symmetrically the playing area into smaller areas for receiving individual decks of question and answer playing cards. The path is divided into interconnecting subdivisions and includes category and bonus indicia on the subdivisions. Each one of the playing cards contains a quotation or a definition with a missing word on one side, and the correct missing word to complete the quotation or definition on the reverse side of the card. The playing cards are divided into subject matter categories that are distinguishable from one another and are placed according to categories into the smaller areas on the playing board. The position marking pieces are initially placed on the game board on any subdivision bearing a bonus indicia, and thereafter are moved manually traveling along the path in any desired direction where only the number of subdivisions is determined by a move determining device and the player successfully completes a selected quotation or definition by identifying a missing word.
