  • Patent number: 5472207
    Abstract: A game is provided where point values are awarded based upon the number and difficulty of factual connections or linkages provided by an answering player between a category and a subcategory or two categories. The player moves a game piece from a starting space to a finishing space along a playing path preferably having a star shaped configuration. The number of spaces moved equals the total of the point values earned by identifying the factual connections during a player's given turn. The categories and factual connections used as representative examples relate to the motion picture industry, however the game method may be applied to a variety of subjects for entertainment or educational purposes. Alternate embodiments, including computer, multimedia, and performance versions are described.
