Game
Instructions
To
Start:
•
Place the stack of ‘UNCLE SAM’ cards on the ‘UNCLE SAM’ logo on
the game board.
• Decide what type of game you wish to play - Regular Play, Quick Play,
or Long Play***.
• Each player, or team, must select a playing piece.
• Place all the selected playing pieces on the ‘START’ square.
• Decide who goes first. (we recommend starting with the youngest
player, and work clockwise)
To
Play:
•
Player 1 moves forward one square. Players move forward one square at
the beginning of every turn. Note: moving forward means moving clockwise.
•
Player
1 is now asked a question from the appropriate category (the category
written in the square). If the question is answered correctly, Player 1
moves forward one square, and is asked another question. It remains Player
1’s turn until a question is answered incorrectly, or until an
‘UNCLE SAM’ card ends the turn.
•
Move clockwise around the table. Just remember, at the beginning of every
turn you move forward one square.
•
When you land on an ‘UNCLE SAM’ card, select the top card from the
pile. Do what the card says, and when done, return the card to the bottom
of the pile.
•
When the ‘UNCLE SAM’ card asks you to answer a question, you may
select any category you wish. The first player to make it back to the
‘START’ square wins the game.
Note:
In order to win, you must answer a question correctly. You can not win by
simply moving forward one square at the beginning of your turn.
***For
Regular Play games, players circle the game board twice. For Quick Play
games, players must circle the game board only once. For
Long Play games, the winner must circle the game board three times.
