Format

Two families, consisting of three family members, played a strategic board game with the moves dependent on correct answers to a wide variety of questions, put by Dr. Sue Kingsman of Trinity College, Oxford. The winners of the board game go on to play a computer game for prizes. The prize consisted of record and book tokens, and the winning family then took on a new family until they were beaten.
The series was won by The Chiappino family from Southampton, and as there was never a second series commissioned, are the reigning champions.
