The game board includes indicia, a portion of which corresponds to different levels of difficulty of a predetermined educational category such as history, and a portion of which corresponds to instructions with respect to movement of the personal markers along the game board. The front side of the game card bears a picture of a historical figure, and the back side bears textual information about the historical figure on the front side. During a player's turn, when the player selects one of the game cards, the player looks at the picture on the front side of the selected card. Another player then reads aloud information relating to the picture from the back side of the card. From the information read aloud, the first player learns factual knowledge and makes a guess at the identity of the historical figure in the picture.
