About the game

Social/party game whereby each player must rank four items (words/images on cards from various categories). After secretly ranking the items, everyone else bets on where the items will fall within the ranking (with a double-your-money option which will double the gain, but cause negative points if incorrect). Then the ranker reveals the order, with much discussion, and the next player proceeds. Players/teams move their pieces around the board based on the points they score and a round finished when a piece crosses the start/finish board.
