Which Board Game? Trivia Quiz

Answer: The Game of Life

A more recent update to the game rewards players for things such as recycling. It is also part of the Smithsonian's National Museum of American History (from Wikipedia).

Answer: Pay Day

Each Pay Day month has 31 days in it. If you can't pay your bills at the end of the month you can take out loans. At the end of the game, whoever has the most money, or the least loans, wins the game!

Answer: Stratego

The goal in Stratego is to capture the other player's flag. But to get to the flag, you must get through the other player's pieces that defend it. The number on each piece refers to its rank. If you move your piece into a square with an opposing player's piece, the lower number captures the higher number. For example, if I have a 6 and you have a 4, you would capture my piece.

Answer: Guess Who?

Answer: Scrabble

Scrabble is also one of the most popular board games of all time. There are a few special spaces in the game that add to your score. Some double or triple the letter that lands on them while others double or triple the entire score of the word.

Answer: Trivial Pursuit

When a player has collected all 6 colored pies, he must then go to the center of the board and answer a final question. If the player gets it right, he or she wins. But if they get it wrong, they have to wait another turn in order to try again. The fill in the blank wasn't to trick you.

The question was a little too easy for multiple choice and I wanted to make it a little more challenging.
