ABSTRACT:
A state or territory trivia game has a game board bearing a map or representation of a particular state or territory, and that representation is divided into eight color coded sections or regions. Each section represents a different region of the state or territory. On the sides of the board are smaller representations of the state or territory. These are used for the collection of game collection pieces. Game question and answer cards have eight questions relating to the history, geography, etc. of the respective regions of the state or territory, and the answers provided on the other side of the card. The card is arranged so that the answers cannot readily be seen as the question is being asked. The game begins with each player in the state capital or in some other predetermined city, and the player moves his or her piece a number of squares across the board in correspondence with the roll of a die or other randomizer. The object is to answer questions correctly while the transit piece occupies a city station earning a collection piece. The winner of the game is the first player to earn all eight collection pieces.
