Board Games Jeopardy Begins in Forum

More News

A new game has started in this site's Forum, a twist on the game show Jeopardy with all boardgames categories. The winner will receive a (yet-to-be-announced) "fabulous" prize.


Share your thoughts about this news and anything else related to board games on the Board Games Forum.

As on the television show, answers are provided -- the contestants must supply the correct questions. Answers which have already been posted include:

  • Benjamin Franklin once said, "Several very valuable qualities of the mind, useful in the course of human life, are to be acquired or strengthened by" this game.

  • When a hexagon with a graphic of this on it is drawn in the award-winning game Tikal, a scoring round begins immediately.

  • In an average game of Monopoly, this railroad is landed on more often than any other railroad.

    (The questions for all the above answers can be found in the Board Games Jeopardy message thread in the Forum.)

    Categories for the first round are History, Designers, German Games, American Games, and Potpourri.

    Anyone is welcome to participate -- simply visit the Forum and post a question when you see a new answer waiting. (You will need to join as a member of About.com or Delphi to post in the Forum. Membership is free.)
