Rules of Play
Object: answer correctly and reach Finish
1. Select one set of cards and give the Answer Key Card to the answer keeper.
2. Place the shuffled cards question-side down on the Draw space.
3. Players select one pawn and its matching-colored a, b, c answer tokens. Place pawns on Start.
4. The player who has the next birthday goes first. Play continues clockwise.
5. The reading player reads the entire card aloud, and the other players place their answer tokens face down.
6. Once all tokens are placed, the reader says, "Ready!" and announces the card number and answer for the answer keeper. For example,"Ready! #23, b. Bats are unusual mammals."
7. In clockwise order, token players flip their tokens to reveal their answers.
8. The answer keeper checks the answers and tells each player whether he or she may move. If the reader is correct, he or she moves the number on the card's die. If the reader lands on a move-up or move-back space, that player moves his or her pawn accordingly. Token players with the correct answer move ahead one space. Token players with an incorrect answer do not move.
9. Place the card question-side up on the Discard space.
10. Turns continue clockwise until someone reaches Finish.
Token Moves: Token players move only one space. If a token move lands a player on an action space, no action is taken. Only reading players whose turn it is may take action on the board.
Action Spaces: These spaces only apply to the reading player, not to players who move one space for a correct answer in a token move. In the game trio, move forward on pipes, jets, and rockets, and move backward on beakers, parachutes, and shooting stars. Bonus! spaces are only applicable when a Bonus! Card is drawn by the reading player. Landing on a Bonus! space without having drawn a card does not call for any action.
Bonus! Cards and Spaces: If a player draws a Bonus! Card, only that player gets to move to the next Bonus! space and draw another card. Token players do not have the chance to move until after the question is read and their answers are checked.
