Abstract
A game that includes cards having questions and more than one category of answers, and scorekeeping pieces for tracking scores of respective players. A method of play includes asking players to identify the source of famous quotations; players are awarded scorekeeping pieces, such as magnetized marbles, for identifying the Title of the work, the author or director, and the character that spoke the quote. If a player gives a wrong answer, the next player can request a new question or answer the missed question. In a challenge phase, a player may challenge another player'"'"'s answer before it is identified as being correct or incorrect. If the challenging player is correct, bonus scorekeeping pieces are awarded. If the challenger is incorrect, the challenger returns scorekeeping pieces. When a player has enough magnetized marbles (scorekeeping pieces) to complete a worm, the player wins the round or the game.
