An entertainment and educational poker based board game and the method of playing it featuring educational and trivial questions is disclosed which requires the winner of the poker round (the one who holds the hand with the highest value according to an established hand rankings hierarchy, or otherwise the player who remains in the hand after all others have folded) to answer a question from one of the question cards before winning the pot (money). He/She will roll a dice and will have to answer the question number corresponding to the number on the rolled dice. The poker round can be played different ways all following a similar pattern of play and using the same hand ranking hierarchy. There are three main families of variants, largely grouped by the protocol of card-dealing and betting: namely "Straight"; "Stud"; "Draw"and "Community" (also referred as " Texas hold-em"or "Omaha"). The educational and trivial poker board game set includes: poker chips; playing card(s); dealer button; questions cards; dice; manual, player's representational tokens and a pyramidal board divided in 4 sections where the top of the pyramid represent the BIG PURSE. After answering a question card correctly; the winner doesn't take the poker chips in the pot but instead the dealer takes the money (poker chips) and adds it to the BIG PURSE (that already has an initial amount of money at the beginning of the game) . The winner of the round gets to advance his representational player's token by one step. It takes 3 steps to reach the big purse. The first player to the reach the BIG PURSE collects all the amounted moneys added up during the game. If the winner of the poker round answers correctly the question, the round winner wins the game and a new game round is played. If he answers incorrectly he has two new options that are available to him: (withdraw and give up his chance to advance his token OR draw another Question card in exchange of poker chips money added to the BIG PURSE). The other Players have also an opportunity to participating in the Questions rounds against the poker round Winner. This opportunity is only available in the first question round. (BETTING AGAINST WINNER ROUND) From the other players, only the one willing to bet the most against the round winner ability to answer the question will be able to participate in the BETTING AGAINST WINNER ROUND versus the poker round winner. The amounts are added to the BIG PURSE and if the round winner doesn't indeed answer correctly (including 2nd question round chance) or withdraws, the player who betted against him gets his token moved up closer to the BIG PURSE and the poker round winner gets his moves backward by one step. The board is composed of a cardboard surface with the shape of a Pyramid leading to the BIG PURSE. On it, three zones(1;2;3) leading to the BIG PURSE. Every time a player wins a game, he gets to advance his representational token one step closer to the BIG PURSE. When a player wins the BIG PURSE; all representational player's tokens are reset to the start case (1) of the pyramid and the amount of the BIG PURSE goes back to the initial amount agreed by the players. The game end winner will be the player who won the most money (poker chips) or won all the money in play during the game. A variation of the method of play can be played without the board game and would include: poker chips; playing card(s); dealer button; questions cards; dice and the manual. If he/she answers correctly the question, the round winner wins the Pot (amount of chips betted throughout the game) and a new game round is played. If he answers incorrectly he has two new options (withdraw and give up his chance to win the pot OR draw another Question card but has to put out money that will be added to the pot) The other Players have also an opportunity to participating in the Questions rounds against the Round Winner using the same principle From the other players, only the one willing to bet the most against the round winner ability to answer the question will be able to participate in the BETTING AGAINST WINNER ROUND versus the poker round winner. The amounts are added to the pot and if the round winner doesn't indeed answer correctly (including 2nd question round chance) or withdraws, the player who betted against him gets to win the Pot. The game end winner will be the player who won the most money (poker chips) or won all the money in play during the game. The present game and his variation could be applied to virtually any subject matter, but is particularly well suited for television game, computer game, electronic game and Internet based games. A new level of difficulty can be added to variations of the game namely television game, computer game, electronic game and Internet based games; by having multiple answers given to the round winner with the option of eliminating one by paying an amount stated on the Question card
