Method of playing a board game

Claim 1

A method for playing a game on a board having a substantially flat top surface on which is delineated a grid defining a plurality of contiguous spaces disposed with replaceable game question cards, a starting block and a center hub, the game question cards including regular question cards and game-ending question cards, said contiguous spaces are arranged in a defined path from said starting block to said game-ending question cards, the game further including a game piece for each player wherein the method of play comprises: (a) placing each player's game piece in the starting block; (b) asking the first list question of to all the players; (c) each player preparing a list of responses in answer to said first list question; (d) each player moving in turn from the starting block to a move-ending game board square based upon the number of correct responses to said first list question; (e) restricting movement of said game pieces to only horizontal and vertical directions thereby preventing diagonal moves and further restricting said movement such that contact with any square is limited to one time by any piece as part of any one move; (f) requiring a different question to be answered correctly by each player for the player's corresponding game piece to remain on the corresponding move-ending game board square, the question to be asked corresponding to the game question card exposed on the square occupied by the particular game piece; (g) removing each game question card from its corresponding game board square when the corresponding question is answered correctly, thereby leaving the game board square void of any game question cards; (h) replacing each game question card with a new game question card when the corresponding question is not answered correctly; (i) after each player has made its initial move and responded to the particular question, asking another list question of all players; (j) each player preparing a list of responses in answer to said another list question; (k) each player moving in turn from its then-present position to a move-ending game board square based on the number of correct responses to said another list question; and (l) repeating steps (e), (f), (g), (h), (i), (j) and (k) until a first game-ending question is answered correctly.
