Shouting Allowed: Play Smart Ass, the game where it's ok to yell out the answer, even when it's not your turn! Only the player that landed on the space gets to try and answer the question. If they answer the question correctly, they will roll the number die and move the corresponding number of spaces. For the first question the player landing on the Hard Ass space has to correctly answer that Mr. Kilimanjaro is the highest mountain in Africa. If they answer correctly they will get to roll the number die and move the corresponding number of spaces.

If a player lands on the "hard ass square" after rolling the numbered die, then this player get asked a bonus question from the "hard ass" category. If no player can be separated as the winner, then a tie-breaker question (from the "hard ass" category) is needed to be asked. Remember, anyone can give an answer at any time, although each player only has one chance to answer the question on each card. Then a question is being asked from that category and every player can yell out an answer at any time, but they can do this once. Should no one guess the answer correctly, the reader gets to roll the number die and move their playing piece the corresponding number of spaces.

We’re also using them as a bit of a stealth way of educating the kids. Whether it be understanding the concept of taking turns for the younger children, or building the older ones’ general knowledge, board games are an excellent way of doing both as a family. When I saw Smart Ass at Blog On I knew that it would be perfect for that general knowledge building for the older kids. That starting player rolls the colored category die to decide which question he or she is going to be asked.

Hard Ass – there are a separate pile of Hard Ass questions as this is effectively a bonus question space. Only the player who has landed on this space gets to answer the Hard Ass question. If they get it right then they can roll the Jumbo Movement Die again for a bonus move. If they answer incorrectly then play just moves on as if it had never happened! Although there’s no specific rule in this game that dictates how much time a player can take to answer a question, you can set your own restrictions if you’re in a rush. Consider using a little sand timer to keep the game running at a rapid pace. Dumb Ass Square: The player that lands on the Dumb Ass Square can’t answer or ask the next question.
