1800-1844

Rules to the History Party:
 * five people start out on a board and take turns rolling dice
 * The person with the highest number on the initial roll goes first, while the one with the lowest number is the questioner
 * After the turn order is decided, the players take turns rolling the dice and moving the number of spaces shown on the dice
 * After all players have moved once, a trivia question will be asked by the questioner, and the first person to answer the question correctly will gain 10 points. This is repeated after every turn
 * If you answer the question wrong, you will lose 10 points. It is possible to have negative points
 * The first player to 100 points wins
 * The start space is skipped after everyone moves off it unless otherwise stated

John Adams (1797-1801)
 * When an incorrect answer is given, the questioner receives the points the other player loses.
 * There are special spaces on the board that determine different events
 * A blue space means that you are allowed to participate in the trivia at the end of the turn
 * A red space means that you are not allowed to participate in the trivia at the end of the turn
 * A green space means that you draw an event card from the top of the pile. Follow the instructions on the card and unless otherwise stated, you may participate in the trivia at the end of the turn
 * A gold space means that you choose one other person and face off in a trivia off. One question is to be asked, and you bet points on the question. The winner of the trivia-off takes all of the points.
 * The questioner may be challenged, in which case the player whose turn is after the challenger asks the trivia question. Whoever wins in this case decides who will continue as the questioner, the challenged or the challenger.
