Game Rules PT2: Court of Champions

Objective: Compete to earn the most points by completing trivia questions and physical challenges related to basketball history and rules as you navigate the court.

Game Components:

• Game Board (Basketball court of some sort)
• Challege Cards (Trivia questions and physical challenge)
• Player Tokens (basketball themed players)
• Dice (six sided)
• Score sheet/ Pencils
• Timer (optional)

Setup:

1. Place the Game Board: Lay out the game board in the center of the playing area.
2. Distribute Player Tokens: Each player chooses a token and places it at the starting point on the board (e.g., “Tip-Off” space).
3. Shuffle Challenge Cards: Mix the Challenge Cards and place them face down in a designated area on the board.
4. Prepare the Score Sheet: Ensure each player has access to a score sheet to track points.

Game Play:

• Turn Order: Players decide the turn order by rolling a dice (Highest roll goes first)

Rolling the Dice:

• On their turn, a player rolls the die and moves their token forward the number of spaces rolled.
• If a player lands on a special space (indicated on the board), they must perform the associated action.

Challenge Spaces:

• Trivia Space: If a player lands on a Trivia Space, they draw a Trivia Challenge Card and read the trivia question aloud. If they answer correctly, they earn points (e.g., 1 point for basic questions, 2 points for advanced questions).
• Challenge Space: If a player lands on a Challenge Space, they draw a Challenge Card that may require them to perform a physical task (e.g., “Make a paper ball into a trash can” or “Dribble a ball five times”). If successful, they earn points as specified on the card.

Points System:

• Players earn points based on the type of challenge:
• Correct Trivia Answer: 1-2 points (varying difficulty)
• Completed Physical Challenge: 2 points (or as stated on the card)
• Keep track of points on the Score Sheet after each turn.

Team Challenges (Optional): If players land on a designated “Team Challenge” space, they can collaborate as a team to answer a trivia question or complete a physical challenge, with shared points awarded for success.

Winning The Game:

• The game ends when all Challenge Cards have been drawn or when players agree to finish (after a set number of rounds).
• The player with the most points at the end of the game is declared the “Champion of the Court.”

Additional Rules:

• Timer for Challenges: For added excitement, players can use a timer (e.g., 30 seconds) for physical challenges and trivia answers.
• Disputed Answers: If players disagree on an answer, they can consult a basketball rulebook or trusted source to resolve disputes.
• Penalty for Skipping: Players may choose to skip a challenge but will lose 1 point if they do so.

Tips for Players:

• Stay engaged and supportive during challenges and trivia.
• Use teamwork during Team Challenges to maximize points.
• Have fun and enjoy the mix of knowledge and skill!
