A Spy for General Washington

How much do you know about the Revolutionary War? You will find out when you play this game where every correct

answer gets you closer to delivering your information and helping the colonists win the war. In this game, you are a spy

for the American patriots during the Revolutionary War. You must collect information and get it back to General

Washington before it is too late!

Preparing the Game

1. Attach two file folders together by overlapping one side so you have three parts to glue the game board to. Attach

the game board to the three parts of the file folders. Be sure to match the spaces on the board. Trim the pages if

necessary to make them meet in the correct places.

2. Cut out the question cards. If you print them on cardstock or print them on paper and laminate them, they will hold

up longer, but they can be used just as easily if printed on regular copy paper. There are two sets of question and

answer cards to allow you to adjust the difficulty level for your family. The first set (Level 1) has multiple choice answers

provided for the questions and is intended for players who have not had a chance to study the Revolutionary War in as

much detail. The second set (Level 2) asks nearly the same questions but does not provide choices of answers. It is

intended for players who have had a chance to already learn about the Revolutionary War or who have played Level 1

and feel they have mastered the material. There is also a page of blank question cards so that you may add additional

questions related to your family’s study of the Revolutionary War.

3. Flag cards are included in color and in black and white so players may color their own flag if desired. Print the flag

cards on cardstock or paper and laminate (if using the ones in color) if desired, or print on regular copy paper. Each

player will require one flag card. This is the card that will be filled in at the bottom with the star tokens earned during

the game.

4. Cut out the star tokens that you will need to play the game. Each player will need thirteen tokens.

5. Gather one die and something such as beans, buttons, or tokens from another game to use as markers.

Playing the Game

All players begin on Start. The first player rolls the die. Before the player moves, he must answer a question correctly.

The player to his left draws a question card and asks the player the question. If the player answers correctly, he moves

the number rolled. If he lands on a blank space, he stays there and the turn is over. If the player lands on a blue space

with a star on it, he must answer another question. If he answers correctly, he receives a piece of information (a star

token), places it on the bottom portion of his flag card, and his play ends. Play moves to the next player. Note: if the

question answered on the star space is a question with a blue answer, the player receives his star as normal, rolls the

dice, and is given another question to answer. If he answers correctly, he moves the number rolled and continues play

as normal. If he answers incorrectly, the turn ends.

Each set of questions includes fourteen cards with answers shown in blue. These questions require exact dates for

answers. If these questions are answered correctly, the player gets to take another turn. The player rolls and answers a

second question. If the question is answered incorrectly, they do not move. If it is answered correctly, they move the

number shown.

A player must have thirteen stars (one for each colony) in order to win the game. If a player reaches the end of the

game and does not have thirteen stars, he must turn around and move backward until he has collected thirteen stars.

Then he may turn around (he does not need to move the entire way back to Start) and move again in the same fashion

toward the end of the game. The star tokens represent information you are delivering to General Washington. The first

person to get thirteen stars and get to General Washington’s headquarters to deliver their information wins the game!

You can proudly display the flag that is on your card!
