PREPARATION:

Place and connect the two pieces of game boards on a flat and rough surface with enough room around the game board for placement of the draw deck of cards, marker chips and discards for each player.

Team players must divide evenly into three/four teams or there are three/four players. Players are to choose a dealer. The dealer should shuffle the cards and deal out five question cards to each player. Please ensure that all 3 or 4 players choose a colour chip to represent them.

HOW TO PLAY THE GAME

Set-up

Beginning with the player to the left of the dealer and moving in a clockwise direction, each player selects a card of their choice from their hand and answers the question on the card. The question cards are colour-coded and players are to refer to the answer card of that particular colour. (eg. Question card has question 1 with a red sticker on it, players are to refer to the red answer card of question 1) Players who answer the question correctly will place the question and answer card face up on a discard pile (players should start their own discard pile in front of them visible to all other players) and then places one of their marker chips on the matching picture on the game board.

Players who answer the question wrongly will place the question and answer card on the discard pile and will be unable to place their marker chips on the game board. The game will resume with the next player on his/her left.

Play continues in a clockwise direction until one player or team scores ONE CONSECUTIVE 5, at which point that player or team wins the game.
