  The object of the game is to cover 25 squares on the playing board with a coloured counter. The winner is the first player to place all 10 counters on the board. Alternatively, when all 25 squares are covered, the winner is the player with most counters on the board. To place a counter on a square, you must think of a name relating to the subject on that square. The name must begin with a letter dictated by a spinning arrow.

The game includes a clever way to check who calls out an answer first.When answering, a player puts a coloured ball in a catch box which is open topped and funnel shaped so that only one ball is at the base. The player who owns this ball scores and covers the appropriate square with one of his coloured counters.
