From the box:
"Like the popular NOVA television program on PBS, the NOVA TRUE SCIENCE game will intrigue and entertaining science-phobes and science-philes alike. Players wander around a Big Brain Game Board and earn points by answering simple true-false questions or tougher "genius" questions. The 900 questions fall into six science categories: Life, Earth, Physics, Technology, Science & Society, and Random Access (anything goes). Players can use Brain Boost and Cross Current spaces to take strategic shortcuts. Plus, they can even bet on their opponent's science knowledge by taking an Einstein's Gamble."
Game includes Big Brain Game Board, 4 playing pieces, 200 True/False cards, 100 Genius cards, 1 die, and Rule Booklet which includes a brief glossary of science terms.
A joint effort by Aristoplay and WGBH-Boston Educational Foundation, producers of NOVA.
