The highest roller goes first.    Each turn, a player rolls the die and moves the number of spaces shown on the die. Based on the colored space on which the player lands, he or she must pick up the coordinating card. The player must then answer the question on the card within 30 seconds. If the player answers correctly, he or she obtains a CD! The process is repeated until a player obtains 10 CDs.

Four different categories in this game! • Trivia - answer random

common knowledge questions about rock.

Here is an example of a pictogram.  

TRIVIA

This category of the game includes trivia questions about different musicians in the industry.  These question may be about their personal lives, their careers, or their music.  They may focus on an entire band, or be about a single musician in the band. The level of difficulty will range from "extremely difficult" to "easy".

NAME THAT SONG 

One of the categories of our game includes a CD.  This CD will have multiple songs on it and the player has to guess the name of the song and/or the artist who wrote the song.  If the the player lands on a spot on the board where they must use the CD, that spot will tell another player from a different team to draw a card and read it to them.  The card will have the CD and track number that is to be listened to and guessed on.  

NAME THAT SONG (continued) 

An example that one might see in this category while playing this game is a card that looks like this....

The CD can be played on any standard CD/DVD player or computer.

WRAPPING IT UP...WHY ROCK STAR?

ROCK STAR is the result of a brainstorming session by a group of Los Angeles Valley College students during an exercise in virtual group communication.  The idea was to create a board game that

would have mass appeal.   Well no surprise that music was chosen as the emphasis for this game.  One only has to look at

the popularity of TV's "American Idol" to consider the far reaching commercial potential of this game from the music lovers of 1950's Rock n Roll King Elvis Presley to today's fans of Teen

Princess Miley Cyrus. 

This cleverly designed board game has the opportunity of being the next contender  to join the staples of home board game

collections alongside Monopoly and Trivial Pursuit. 

The hope is that families and friends alike will have a few laughs and enjoy their time together as they move around the board and

compete for the most number of cd's to enter the Hall of Fame.
