ABSTRACT:
A game is provided for testing a player's knowledge of basketball trivia. The game includes a playing board having a plurality of color playing spaces. Five differently colored pairs of tokens are provided, the first token being used to track the player's progress around the board and the second being used to keep score on a scoreboard section provided in the center of the playing board. During play, each player advances his token according to the roll of a pair of dice. Depending on the square landed upon the player may earn one point "free throws" and two and three point "field goals" for answering a question from a set of question cards. Each card includes several questions of increasing difficulty. A plurality of colored cubes corresponding to the colored spaces are provided. These colored cubes further have indicia corresponding to the questions on each question card. The question the player must answer is determimined by first landing on a colored space, then rolling the correspondingly colored cube. The indicia appearing on the cube corresponds to the question to be asked on the question card. By landing on the spaces so marked, the player can commit fouls, turnovers, be sent to the bench, or the like just like in a real basketball game.
