Instructions
Welcome
to The Ultimate Hockey Trivia Board Game. As the name suggests, this is a
trivia game for hockey fans who want to test their knowledge about the
greatest sport in the world. While the game does focus primarily on NHL
teams and players, it also includes questions on hockey history,
international hockey, junior hockey, and other professional hockey
leagues. One feature, which many people appreciate, is the ‘rookie’
category for novice hockey fans. This allows everyone to play and have a
chance at winning.
To Start
Place
the stack of "Referee Call Cards" on the center ice.
Decide which skill level you want to play. There are two skill levels;
rookie and veteran. The veteran player will be asked questions from the
Players, Teams, and General categories. The rookie player will only be
asked questions from the Rookie category.
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)
How
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 a “referee call card”
ends the turn.
Novice
players are always asked questions from the Rookie category, regardless of
what is written in the square.
Move
clockwise around the table. Just remember, at the beginning of every turn
you move forward one square.
When
you land on a “referee call 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 "referee call card" asks you to answer a question, you
may select
any category you wish. A veteran player could choose from the Players,
Teams, and General categories. The novice player would answer questions
from the Rookie category.
Note:
if the card asks you to answer a trivia question, and you answer
correctly, your turn continues. If the card does not ask you to answer a
question, after moving to the appropriate square, your turn is over.
The
first player to make it back to the “start” square wins the game.
