Go to the Head of the Class

board game

Go to the Head of the Class is a roll and move trivia board game first published in 1936 by Chad Valley Co Ltd, later produced by Milton Bradley, now part of Hasbro, and most recently issued by Winning Moves USA in 2013. The board depicts a classroom viewed from above, with a teacher's desk and blackboard at one end representing the head of the class that players race to reach. Players move their tokens from desk to desk by correctly answering trivia questions drawn from cards sorted by difficulty and subject, while separate chance cards can advance or set back a player's position based on classroom behavior scenarios rather than a question answered. The game's long publication history across several toy companies has made it one of the longer running trivia themed board games sold in the United States.
