This game consists of a folding gameboard, four game pieces, two dice, "challenge desk" cards for each player to manage their points, packs of point cards in denominations of 50 (white), 100 (yellow), and 500 (blue), trivia question cards related to various aspects of Black American history, and a printed set of instructions. The game is won by the first player to acquire 25,000 points. The question cards explore Black contributors to history, politics, science, exploration, and arts and entertainment.
