RULES OF PLAY

The computer controls all functions of PASS-AROUND TRIVIA leaving you
free to play and enjoy the game.

Player 1 will start first. Press the space bar and the computer will
roll the dice. Player 1's token will move the correct number of
spaces.

OBJECT

The object of the game is to accumulate the largest number of points
before any player lands on the "Final Question" which is located in the
middle of the screen.

POINTS

Players are rewarded points for answering questions correctly, landing
on the $ square, or if another player lands on a "claimed" square, and
if the final question is answered correctly.

Players have points subtracted for incorrectly answering a question or
for landing on a "claimed" square.

QUESTIONS

Squares which have a question are identified by having an A,B,C or D in
them. These letters correspond to the category listed on the upper
right portion of the screen. Points for answering questions correctly
are as follows:

Level One - 500 Points
Level Two - 1000 Points
Level Three - 1500 Points
Final Question - 10000 Points

When a player lands on an A,B,C or D square, that category will be
shown on the upper right of the screen. A question will be displayed
with four possible answers if you are playing with multiple choice
answers, or just the question if you are not playing with multiple
choice answers.

If you are playing with answers shown, the computer will ask you for
your choice (1,2,3 or 4). You have 30 seconds to answer that question.
The 30 second clock will appear on the upper right of the screen. If
you answer the question incorrectly or if your time runs out, points
will be subtracted from your score.

If you are playing without the answer shown, you have 30 seconds to
decide on the correct answer and tell it to the other players. Press
the return key to see the correct answer. If your answer was correct,
press the "Y" key after the question "Were you correct (Y/N)" appears
on the screen. If your answer was not correct, press the "N" key after
the same question appears on the screen.

Points subtracted for incorrect answers are as follows:

Level One - 25 Points times the number on the dice
Level Two - 35 Points times the number on the dice
Level Three - 50 Points times the number on the dice

After a player answers a question correctly, then that player "claims"
the square. That player's token will appear on the square for the
remainder of the game. Each time another player lands on a "claimed"
square, points are subtracted from that player's score and points are
added to the player who has "claimed" the square as follows:

Level One - 125 Points
Level Two - 250 Points
Level Three - 750 Points


BONUS POINTS



Bonus points are awarded each time a player lands on the "$" square and
when the first player reaches the "?" (FINAL QUESTION) square.

Bonus points for the "$" square are as follows:

Level One - 250 Points
Level Two - 500 Points
Level Three - 750 Points

Bonus points for the "?" are as follows:

Correct Answer + 10000 Points
Incorrect Answer - 10000 Points






WINNING THE GAME



The final question is located in the center of the game board and is
worth 10,000 points. The computer will determine a player's final
question from the subject category in which they achieved the most
incorrect answers. The player with the most points wins the game!
