Abstract

The present invention provides a mechanism to separate a board game into two components, namely a topic-board and a player-board to provide a method and apparatus to use geographical maps in a board game. The topic-board can be any geographical map specified in the game. The specified map is used to answer questions or perform directives specific to the game. The player-board records the player's progress after the player answers questions pertaining to the topic-board. Player-boards can have many different formats. This invention increases the use of generic geographical maps in a board game and increases geographical skills of players as they move toward winning the game.
