Description

"This black-oriented game uses black history as a theme. Correct answers to quiz-card questions regarding contributions of blacks to American history and culture earn players the chance to fit pieces into one of four picture puzzles of famous Afro-American men. Game II will include the historical contributions of black women, overlooked in Game I." Mentioned in article "Games with Soul" published in Newsweek magazine 10/9/72. Players place shuffled history cards face down near the board. Each player picks a puzzle and removes all the pieces. Players then spin the spinner and try to fit the number of puzzle pieces matching the spinner in their board in 60 seconds. If they fail, they must return all unused pieces back. If the spinner points to a question mark, the player can answer an African American history question and receive the number of puzzle pieces on the card. The player who finishes their puzzle first, wins.
