ABSTRACT:
A game board is provided at least one player advancement track having a linear progression of advancement spaces. The game board also includes a circular movement track having a closed-loop progression of movement spaces extending in an unending, traversing configuration around the game board. A movement piece for each player is placed upon a beginning space of the circular movement track. A question is posed to each player in turn which, if answered correctly, entitles the player to select a random number and move his or her movement piece along the circular movement track a corresponding number of spaces. The game proceeds accordingly, wherein a player may move an advancement marker one space along the advancement track each time that player's movement piece lands upon one of a plurality of advancement-activating movement spaces. Some of the advancement-activating movement spaces are common to all participating players, while others operate to advance only the advancement marker of a particular player. The game is won by a player whose advancement marker first reaches a terminal position on the advancement track.
