ABSTRACT:
A travel board game includes a generally rectangular game board having a movement path indicated by more than one hundred twenty contiguous sequential spaces. A first group of question spaces are designated by indicia on the movement path and a corresponding first group of question cards bear questions and associated answers corresponding to the first group of question spaces. A second group of spaces on the movement path bear indicia designating special question spaces and a second group of special question cards bear questions and answers corresponding to the special question spaces which have a higher degree of difficulty than the first group of question cards. One of the spaces on the game board is designated as a random movement space and every tenth space in the movement path is numbered, beginning at twenty and ending at one hundred twenty. Any player landing on the random movement space must move their game marker to a numbered space determined by ten times the dice total on their next subsequent turn. A map of a selected geographical area is provided on the game board, and the question cards bear questions relating to history and geography of the selected geographical area.
