A Full complement of useless information

A full complement of useless knowledge - thus reads the subtitle of this quiz game with more than 500 statements to check for their truth value.

The game features cards with three astonishing or improbable or bizarre statements or facts in six categories: People, Nature, General, Countries, Sports and Entertainment. A board shows colored spots for those categories and neutral grey spots; some spots have symbols for special actions.

You draw a card according to the position of your marker, read a statement to the other players and hold a "like" die in your hand, showing the symbol next to the statement. All others place their "like" die thumbs-up or thumbs-down according to their opinion. If your die symbol corresponds to the die of the reader you advance your marker. Action symbols on spots reached can but need not be played; they demand a personal statement or a risk turn that you play alone; on the other hand, challenge symbols must be played: On small challenge spots you must challenge one player, the big challenge spots involve all players: All take their "like" dice up and put them on the table in their hand and give a guess how many "like" symbols will become visible. IF you are correct or nearest to the result you advance to the next challenge spot without triggering a challenge. For the small challenge you can play this bluff challenge or a "luck" challenge which you win if you roll more "likes" than your opponent in the challenge. If you are first to reach the finish spot, you win.

Standard mechanisms, the fun is in "true" or "false" of the statements - does the Hawaiian language really have only six consonants?
