    Description

    Game based on popular Italian 80s quiz show "Pentatlon" created by famed italian-american tv presenter Mike Bongiorno.

    Following the structure of the show the game consists of 4 phases:
    1) La ruota della fortuna (The wheel of fortune). Spin a wheel, pick a letter, and then try to guess the mystery phrase on the board. The first one to guess wins.
    2) La prontezza di riflessi (Readiness). Trivia game, with limited time. Pick words related to the topics on the board and get marks for relevance. Highest marks wins.
    3) Il gioco dei dadi (The dice game). Each player rolls one of the big carton box dice. Then, taking turns, each player rolls the two six-sided dice and tries to eliminate numbers from the face of the Big die they have been assigned. First one to clear face wins.
    4) Il gioco dei raddoppi (Double up). Same as the dice game but only reserved for the finalist (the player who scored highest on the previous three games).
