QUIZ BOARD GAME - PLAY ONLINE

Journey in Voyager from the Caretaker's Array towards Earth. You will have adventures along the way. Some are in the form of questions about you i.e. Janeway - correct answers earn a bonus move forward. There are also bonus squares e.g. Borg transwarp coil, but also some penalty moves. In between times, there is daily ship life. Finally, either Admiral Janeway brings ship and crew home early, or you journey on for 16 more years with encounters to suit.

The red numbers are square numbers. Image-buttons/text-link are for illustration only.
Buttons etc. are explained in HOW TO PLAY^{pop-up window} (you can also access HOW TO PLAY from within the game).

Length of game: An average game lasts about 15 minutes. That assumes a reasonably good knowledge of Janeway combined with some good luck, with time to look at any data or picture the game lets you call up. You could try improving your luck by blowing on the dice.

Random elements: Most aspects of Janeway's Journey are randomly generated, not just the number when you throw the dice. This means that every game is different.

Optimised for MS Internet Explorer 5, 800x600 resolution, with JavaScript 1.2+ and animated images enabled.
Browsers unable to read JavaScript Iframes (i.e. low-end browsers) will not be able to see USS Voyager moving along by the board but might see a static image instead. Voyager's movement or speed has no part in the game except to look appropriate - the ship is there with you as you journey together through the Delta Quadrant towards Earth.
