ABSTRACT:
A question and answer board game is disclosed. The game includes a board having a substantially oval playing track imprinted on it playing surface. The track is divided into fifty one separate sectors. Fifty of those sectors are each labeled with the name of one of the fifty states of the United States, and the remaining sector is labeled "START". A random topic selector having a rotatable spinner is positioned on the center of the board. A topic circle divided into six differently colored sectors which are each labeled with one of six question and answer topics is positioned below the spinner on the center of the board. A uniquely shaped game piece and a set of board markers is provided for each player. The board markers of each set are each colored to match the colors of the topic circle sectors. A die is provided to determine order of play and movement of the game pieces along the track. A deck of question and answer cards is provided with a card for each state. The topic circle may be a separate disc mounted in a recess on the center of the board. The disc is movable vertically relative to the board to cause the spinner to rotate and randomly select one of the topics on the disc.
