The object of Sports Yesteryear is to accumulate 100 points to your credit and have no cards left in your hand. Players roll dice and move around a board answering trivia questions in the following categories: Baseball, Football, Mixed bag and Terminology. Each card has a point value and each correct answer adds that amount to your over all score. Each incorrect answer deducts that amount from your overall score.
