ABSTRACT:
A board game includes a game board having a movement path defined by a plurality of sequential spaces and including start and finish spaces. A plurality of game markers are assigned to game players for movement along the path. A sequentially numbered die is utilized to determine seating order and the order of play among a group of players. A multi-colored die has a plurality of differently colored faces. A plurality of cards each have a front face bearing indicia designating famous individuals in various categories. Each of the cards has a rear face bearing indicia designating a description clue corresponding to each of the famous individuals. The categories are color coded corresponding to the colors of the multi-colored die. A timer is utilized to control the length of each player's turn. During play, each player rolls the multi-colored die to select a category, draws a card and gives verbal descriptive clues to an adjacent player in an attempt to elicit a correct identification of the famous individual in the designated category. The initial player continues to draw cards and describes individuals in the indicated catagory until time expires. The players move their respective game markers in correspondence to the number of correctly elicited responses.
