Aim of the Game:
Spicks and Specks is your chance to come together with family and friends to sing, dance, scribble and shout. Take on a hilarious hit parade of musical trivia and tasks and reach the Final Countdown before the other team beats you to it!

Setting Up:
First, players must split up into two teams. Teams may consist of as many players as you like but must have at least two players in each. Position the game board where all players can reach it.

How to Play:
Each space on the board corresponds to a question category (see: Categories) and states whether the opposing team asks the playing team a question or ifthe playing team chooses one of it's own members to ask their remaining team mates. Used cards are returned to the bottom of the deck.

Play moves in a clockwise around the board, one space at a time. For each correct answer, a team may move forward one space and answer the next question, up to a total of three spaces in one turn. A team's turn is over if they correctly answer three questions in a row, or if they answer a question incorrectly.

If a team fails to correctly answer a question asked by one of their own teammates, the opposing team answers correctly, they move the playing team back one space on the board. Play continues as normal.

If a team is stalled on a certain category and answers incorrectly three turns in a row, they automatically proceed to the next space on the board at the start of their next turn.

Cards:
There are five types of cards that correspond to the coloured spaces on the game board.

Winning the Game:
The first team to make to the finish space wins the game.
