About the game
Card game containing: 60 Pupil cards, 20 teacher cards and a board with a path from 0 to 200. Each player, on their turn, chooses a card from their hand. A typical card will have three boxes at the bottom and in each box there will be a number. For example, the first box might say 8, the second box 7 and the third box +12. The first box is how many spaces you go up the track on the board. The second box is how many you go back, so, in my example, you go forward 8 and back 7 (a gain of 1 forward). The third box is the risk number. If you decide to take a risk, you roll the three dice and if you roll or beat the number (12 in my example) in the third box, you avoid the minus amount in box 2. But if you don't roll enough, then the minus points are doubled. At certain points when you cross spaces marked in red on the board, you draw the top card from the Teacher's deck and apply the numbers by adding them to the card played. This will normally result in higher moves, higher minuses and the dice roll needed if you decide to take a risk to avoid the minus number. The one with the most advanced spot on the board when the 60 Pupil cards have been used up, wins. Despite the common name and similar-appearing artwork, this is not the same game as Silence in Class!
