ABSTRACT:
The present invention is directed to a matrix category game which includes an apparatus for playing as well as a method of playing. The apparatus includes a plurality of playing sheets having vertical columns and horizontal rows, each with a set of descriptive headings. At least one set of headings is color coded and the other is directed to various subject categories. A set of dice is included which has a letter of the alphabet on each facet and each die of which is color coded to correspond to the colors on the playing sheet. A writing instrument is provided for marking the playing sheet and instructions are included. Various subject categories are chosen from a list of categories and are inserted in one set of category headings. The dice are then rolled and the letter that faces upward on each one is written on the corresponding color descriptive heading. Each player must then write on a playing sheet an answer under each category and begins with the letter designated. A timer is used and the player who acquires the most points within the predetermined time wins the game.
