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.

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.
