The Know Your Farm Safety board game took a lot of planning and two months of work. He says the game not only is fun, but easy. To play the game, players roll the dice and move their pawns a hog, a tractor, a box of Roundup and an electric pole along colored and numbered spaces. When players land on the space, they are asked a corresponding question. Categories include questions on tractor rollover prevention, and safety procedures with harvest and grain, lawn mowers, ATV and power-tool, electrical, fire and chemical, etc.
Questions range in degree of difficulty from an easier one pointer up to five points.
The first person to 50 points wins. It s a five-star, and that s the most points you can get, he says of the sample question. His questions even stumped one of the contest judges a sign there s always something to learn for everyone. The judges tried it once just to see if they could get the question right, but one ended up with a hard question and couldn t get it, he said. Deerberg did research on the Internet to come up with his game questions.
