ABSTRACT:
A trivia game is set forth, and a method of play therefore, wherein the game includes a game board defined by a rectangular matrix of columns, each column containing a predetermined number of spaces. The spaces originate at a first date and descend in equally spaced chronological order to a final date of a predetermined time interval in history. Play is directed along a single continuous serpentine path between adjacent columns, with movement directed by a spinner member, with the spinner member including an annulus of various colorations. Each coloration is in association with a deck of cards of a like coloration, whereupon correct response relative to a predetermined date in the serpentine path of travel directs a player of a plurality of players to proceed. A further category of spaces randomly positioned throughout the serpentine path directs an individual to proceed in a loss of a predetermined number of spaces along the path and lose a turn.
