Board Game - I Will Become a Millionaire

Before you is an exciting game where you can earn money using your knowledge

 

The goal of the game:

To correctly answer all of the host's questions during the game and earn a million — or become the richest player by the end of the game.

 

Preparation for the game:

Choose a host who will ask you questions. Each player, except the host, selects a token and places it on one of the "Start" fields located in different segments of the game board. Each player also takes 4 "Answer" tokens (A-G), 3 hint tokens, and 1 "Win" token corresponding to the color of their starting field. The host also takes 4 "Answer" tokens, colored differently from the others.

 

Game play:

To start a round, the host takes the top card from the "Question" deck of level 1 difficulty and, without showing it to the other players, reads the question and 4 answer options. Players decide on their answers without consulting each other. Upon selecting an answer, each player places the "Answer" token with the corresponding letter on their segment of the game board face down. When all players win - from the "Start" field to 1 million.

The host uses level 1 difficulty "Question" cards 5 times. When players reach a winnings amount of 1000, the host begins to ask them level 2 difficulty questions. After another 5 questions, when players reach a winnings amount of 32000, the host starts asking level 3 difficulty questions.

1000 and 32000 are considered protected amounts. This means that a player who crosses the threshold of 5 and 10 correct answers respectively is guaranteed to receive these amounts, even if they answer incorrectly on some of the following answers. If a player answers one of the questions incorrectly, they are eliminated from the game. In this case, return your token to the "Start" field, and place one "Win" token on the cell with one of the protected amounts you earned. If a player mistakenly answers a question before receiving a protected amount, their winnings amount to 0.

If you doubt your answer and fear losing your winnings, you can opt not to answer the question and voluntarily exit the game. In this case, you will keep your winnings, which would have dropped to the protected amount with an incorrect answer.

 

Hints:

Each player has 3 hints. To use a hint, place the corresponding token on your segment of the game board until the end of the round.

You can use each hint only once during a single round, but they will be restored in the next round. Each hint can help you answer the question in its own way.

— The "50:50" hint gives the player the opportunity to know 2 incorrect answer options to increase their chances of a correct answer. When a player uses this hint, the host must show them two "Answer" tokens with letters of those answers that are not highlighted in green on the question card.

Important! Players who have not used the "50:50" hint in this round should not see these letters. For example, the host may ask these players to close their eyes.

— The "Audience Help" hint gives the player the opportunity to know which answer would be the most popular among the audience if an audience were watching the game. In this case, the host acts as the audience. When a player uses this hint, the host must roll a die and act according to the result (see instructions).

— The "Phone a Friend" hint gives the player the opportunity to ask for advice from an acquaintance not participating in the game. There are two ways to implement this hint in the game: firstly, genuinely dialing the friend's number and asking them to answer the question within a minute (the host times this); secondly, asking the host to simulate a phone call scenario. In the second case, the host must roll a die and act according to the result (see instructions).

 

Ending the game:

The game continues until a winner is determined — one of the players who correctly answers all the questions and wins a million. If no player reaches the finish line without errors, compare the amount of their winnings. The player whose winnings turn out to be the largest is declared the lucky winner!
