Abstract: A board game apparatus and method for playing same requiring the demonstration of knowledge of deceased individuals, the circumstances surrounding their deaths, and the like, on the part of the players of the game. A game board is provided which has a continuous spiral course including several colored spaces defining a predetermined number of colorations. Several distinctive death-related markers are moved along the colored spaces by a different one of the players in playing the game. Several decks of question-posing cards containing questions relating to deceased individuals, the circumstances surrounding their deaths, and the like, is provided. Each deck contains a category of questions corresponding to one of the predetermined colors. A die directs random movement of the markers along the spiral course. An individual player effects operation of the die to advance the player's marker to a space having a predetermined color, and selects a question-posing card from the deck corresponding to that color. Upon proper response to the question-posing card, the player is directed to repeat operation of the die to further advance the player's marker and select another question-posing card.
