THE CATEGORY DIE
SIX OPTIONS, EVERY TURN DIFFERENT
Roll the Booby Trap and you skip the question and stay put. Roll “choose a category” and you pick the deck you answer from.
HOW TO PLAY
TWO DICE. ONE QUESTION. MOVE.
Everyone rolls the number die first — the highest roll starts, and play continues from highest to lowest.
On your turn, roll both dice together. The number die sets how far you can move; the category die sets the kind of question.
The opposite player or team asks you the question. Answer correctly and move forward by the number rolled; answer wrong and stay where you are.
Six blocks from the finish, only the number die counts. The first to finish picks an Award card — then everyone else completes the game.
