A twenty by twenty roll up surface is used to play the standard game or a 24 by 24 board is used for the deluxe game.

The surface of both games are made up of images and / or events of Americans that have impacted Black American in a significant way.

A roll of the dice dictates which question the roller will be quizzed on.

Forty 3 X 5 inch game cards of people/events which have been carefully selected to give a broad historic account of Black life in America. Each card is weighted with a number. The higher the number dictates the least known individual/event and their impact on Black history. An example would be a high number assigned to Dred Scott than of President Obama. On the front of each card are up to four multiple choice questions with at least one or more correct answers. Based on the complexity of the individual all four of the answers may be correct. In that case it is more of a teaching card than a testing card. The turning the card over lists the correct answer or answers.
