If they get the fact correct, then they cover it up with a counter.  \n• If a player cannot go, or gets an answer wrong, then play passes to the next player.  \n• The first player to make a line of 4 counters (horizontal, vertical or diagonal) wins the game.  \nVariations (if you feel like changing the rules!)  \n• Each time a player makes a line of 3 horizontal counters they can remove one of their opponent’s counters from the board and return it to them.
