A board game includes separate player pieces, a timing device, a board, a random chance control device, general subject category cards and alphabet answer cards. The board has first and second spaces which define a travel path for the player pieces. The first spaces include indicia referring to a general subject category, and the second spaces include a question and indicia referring to a number, a color and a letter of the alphabet. The random chance control device includes a number, a color and a letter of the alphabet. The general subject cards correspond to the indicia on the first spaces and have a question relating to the general subject category and the answer to the question thereon. The alphabet answer cards correspond to the indicia of the second spaces and have answers to the questions appearing on the second spaces. The alphabet answer cards are arranged in alphabetical order with each card's answers further arranged by the numbers appearing on the second spaces.
