Go to the Head of the Class is a fun board game where players race to be the best student! It's a classic "roll-and-move" game, meaning you roll dice to move your game piece. The game was first made by Milton Bradley, a company now owned by Hasbro. It was last produced by Winning Moves USA in 2013, but this popular game has been around since about 1940 and is still available today.
Discovering Go to the Head of the Class
This game is all about showing off your smarts and a bit of luck! It's designed for 2 to 6 players, making it a great choice for family game night or playing with friends.
How to Play the Game
The game board looks just like a school classroom seen from above. At one end, there's a teacher's blackboard. Each player chooses a game piece, which used to be cardboard pictures of adults and children on wooden or plastic stands.
- Moving Around: Players take turns rolling dice to move their game piece from one "desk" to another across the board.
- Answering Questions: To get ahead, you'll need to answer questions correctly. These questions cover different school subjects, testing your knowledge! If you answer right, you move forward.
- Chance Cards: The game also has special "chance cards." These cards can either help you or send you back a few spaces, without needing to answer a question. For example, a card might say, "For good penmanship, advance two desks" or "Put away that peashooter and go back 3 desks."
Winning the Game
The main goal is to be the first player to reach the "head of the class" at the end of the board. It's a race to the finish line, combining knowledge, strategy, and a little bit of chance!
