Beat the Parents!

Kids vs. grown-ups

Who will win the duel of generations? Adults / parents play against children, the team that is first to have both pawns at the target location, wins. Parents use the red pawns, children the yellow ones; parents and children place their three “All or nothing” chips on any slots in their own half of the board and put the two pawns of their team on their respective starting slots. Each question card has a half with questions for adults - marked with a red bar and “ask the parents” and a half with questions for children - marked with a yellow bar and “ask the children”. Each half carries three questions.

The active team is asked the first question of the card and moves one of the team pawns forward by one step, if the answer is correct. The second and third question follow. A wrong answer ends the turn; thus, you can move maximum three steps per turn and must use the same pawn for all three steps. If a pawn ends its move on your own “All or nothing” chip, you move one of your own pawns - and maybe an opposing one - as required and then turn over the chip. If you end on an occupied slot, you may push the other pawn back by two steps. If you arrive at an opposing “All or nothing” chip, you must only reveal it, if your turn ends on this slot! The team that is first to arrive with both pawns at the opposing starting slots, wins the game.

Basically, quiz as usual, the different sets of questions for adults / parents and children are also standard by now; but if you like quiz games, you will definitely like Beat the Parents, maybe Papa does not know the name of Fred Feuerstein’s best friend.
