ABSTRACT:
A method for playing a game includes providing a game board with a checkerboard pattern disposed thereon, a first side defining a beginning position for a first player and an ending position for a second player, and a second side defining a beginning position for the second player and an ending position for the second player. A plurality of tokens are provided to each player for movement along the squares of the game board. In order to move his or her tokens from one square to a new position on another square of the checkerboard, the player must successfully answer a question. As the player attempts to move any given token to the ending position, he or she must be careful that the opposing party does not "jump" the token, thereby causing the token to be removed from the board. The process of selecting a desired new position and moving a token to the new position when the question posed is successfully answered continues until at least one token has reached a square at the ending position opposite the beginning position for that token, or until all of the tokens of one player have been removed from the game board.
