About the game
Players race their pawns around a pentagon shaped board. To move, a player must correctly identify the speaker of quotations on cards drawn during play. The player to the right of the player draws a Quote Card. She then reads aloud the quote which matches the category of the player's current space. Players move 3 spaces for guessing without a hint, 2 for guessing with one (biographical) clue or one for picking the right name out of three suggested names. The first player to return to her starting position wins.
