- before any player lands on the "Final Question" which is located in the
- middle of the screen.
-
-
- POINTS
-
-
- Players are rewarded points for answering questions correctly, landing
- on the $ square, or if another player lands on a "claimed" square, and
- if the final question is answered correctly.
-
- Players have points subtracted for incorrectly answering a question or
- for landing on a "claimed" square.
-
- QUESTIONS
-
-
- Squares which have a question are identified by having an A,B,C or D in
- them. These letters correspond to the category listed on the upper
- right portion of the screen. Points for answering questions correctly
- are as follows:
-
- Level One - 500 Points
- Level Two - 1000 Points
- Level Three - 1500 Points
- Final Question - 10000 Points
-
- When a player lands on an A,B,C or D square, that category will be
- shown on the upper right of the screen. A question will be displayed
- with four possible answers if you are playing with multiple choice
- answers, or just the question if you are not playing with multiple
- choice answers.
-
- If you are playing with answers shown, the computer will ask you for
- your choice (1,2,3 or 4). You have 30 seconds to answer that question.
- The 30 second clock will appear on the upper right of the screen. If
- you answer the question incorrectly or if your time runs out, points
- will be subtracted from your score.
-
- If you are playing without the answer shown, you have 30 seconds to
- decide on the correct answer and tell it to the other players. Press
- the return key to see the correct answer. If your answer was correct,
- press the "Y" key after the question "Were you correct (Y/N)" appears
- on the screen. If your answer was not correct, press the "N" key after
- the same question appears on the screen.
-
- Points subtracted for incorrect answers are as follows:
-
- Level One - 25 Points times the number on the dice
- Level Two - 35 Points times the number on the dice
- Level Three - 50 Points times the number on the dice
-
- After a player answers a question correctly, then that player "claims"
- the square. That player's token will appear on the square for the
- remainder of the game. Each time another player lands on a "claimed"
- square, points are subtracted from that player's score and points are
- added to the player who has "claimed" the square as follows:
-
- Level One - 125 Points
- Level Two - 250 Points
- Level Three - 750 Points
-
- BONUS POINTS
-
-
- Bonus points are awarded each time a player lands on the "$" square and
- when the first player reaches the "?" (FINAL QUESTION) square.
-
- Bonus points for the "$" square are as follows:
-
- Level One - 250 Points
- Level Two - 500 Points
- Level Three - 750 Points
-
- Bonus points for the "?" are as follows:
-
- Correct Answer + 10000 Points
- Incorrect Answer - 10000 Points
-

-
- WINNING THE GAME
-
-
- The final question is located in the center of the game board and is
- worth 10,000 points. The computer will determine a player's final
- question from the subject category in which they achieved the most
- incorrect answers. The player with the most points wins the game!
