ABSTRACT:
A history-based trivia game wherein the answers to all questions are given in the form of a calendar year. Game components include a game board, throwing die, game pieces, playing cards and bonus markers. The object of the game is to be the first player to advance a game piece across a calendar year imprinted on the playing board by correctly answering questions found on the playing cards. A player may advance his or her playing piece one day of the calendar year for each point earned by correctly answering a question. Questions of greater difficulty are awarded a greater number of points. A weighted scoring system allows players to earn partial credit as calculated by the total number of points possible for a correct response minus a predesignated number of points depending on the degree of variation of the player's response from said correct answer.
