Set Up

out the TV Scoring Tokens and place them to the right of the game board.
- Place
the Moving Piece at START on the game board.
- Each
player or team chooses a reclining chair (recliner) as their winner spot.
- Place
the Game Cards face down to the left of the game board.
- When
playing in teams, each team acts as one player.
Object of the Game
To be the first player to correctly answer seven TV trivia
questions and reach his/her recliner.
Playing the Game
- The
player whose birthday is closest to July 1st (the official
start of commercial television in the United States as declared by the
FCC) goes first. S/he rolls the
die and moves the Moving Piece clockwise the number of spaces indicated.
- The
person to the players’ right selects a card and reads the appropriate
question. This is the question
that matches the category where the Moving Piece landed.
- If the
player answers the question correctly, s/he selects a TV token and places
it face up on the first circle (marked with a number “1”) in the row
leading to his/her colored recliner.
The player’s turn is over, and play shifts to the right.
·
If the player does not answer the question correctly,
s/he does not place a TV Token on the game board and the player’s turn is
over. Play shifts to the right.
·
In either case, the person who just read the question
becomes the next player to roll the die and move the Moving Piece.
- The
four recliners are considered spaces on the game board. When the Moving Piece lands on one of
the recliners, s/he skips a turn, unless the recliner is his/her chosen
color. If a player lands on the
recliner of his/her color, the player may request and answer a question in
any one category of his/her choice.
Winning the Game
The first player to answer seven questions correctly and place
a TV Token on his/her recliner wins the game.
