Abstract
A board game has two chance taking devices such as spinners, dice for generating two numbers. A first number selects the number of a question on a question card from a deck of question cards that must be answered correctly. On the board is imprinted a first, direct path of connected spaces from start to win and a second, serpentine path of connected spaces that periodically intersects the first path at common, intersecting spaces. Each player's token is moved a particular number of spaces determined by the second change taking device. Complexity is introduced by what happens when a token is on an intersecting space at the start of a turn. If the question is answered correctly, the token advances along the direct path. If answered incorrectly the token moves one space onto one or the other side of the direct path onto a loop of the second path. Which side it moves is indicated on the question card. On one side the token is advancing and on the other side it is retreating. The token must continue to move in that direction until the next intersecting space is reached before returning to the direct path to the goal.
