To test your knowledge of the opposite sex through a series of gender-based questions. The first player or team to get their two pawns across to the other side of the board wins the game.
Perparation: Divide the players into two teams: Males versus Females. The men sit on the Male side of the board, while the females take the Female side. Place the three Male Challenge Tokens, three Female Challenge Tokens, and three Decision Cards on their respective spaces on the game board. Place one Trophy on the purple START space, setting the rest aside for use later in the game. Shuffle the Female cards and put them back into their card box and repeat the same for the Male cards.
Game Play: The Female Team always goes first. Therefore, the first turn belongs to them.
On the turn of the Female Team, the Male Team draws a card from the Male Deck and reads the question to the Female Team. On the turn of the Male Team, Female Team draws from the Female Deck and reads the question to the Male Team.
The color of the space on which the Trophy rests determines which color question you read. If you are the Reader, do not show your teammates the card, or you might get challenged! Teams should rotate the person reading each time a new card is drawn.
If your team answers correctly, move the trophy one space closer to your side of the board. The other team will then draw a new card and read the next question. After each turn place the old card at the back of the deck. If your team answers incorrectly, your turn is over. Draw a new card and read a question to the other team.
If the opposing team correctly answers a Green question, move the trophy into their Winner's Circle-they win the trophy! That's the end of the round and the trophy stays there in your Winner's Circle to gloat. Put a new trophy on the Start Space, and play moves to the other team.
The first team to win three trophies wins the Battle of the Sexes game. Congratulations-you are the superior sex!

Played this on a group date and found out a lot about the other people I was with (some interesting and some I didn't need to know). Still a fun game where both sexes are present. Pretty simple rules and game play was fairly quick.
