Nubian Jak is a multi-award-winning board game, introduced in 1994,[1] that combines questions on historical facts with pop trivia, to highlight some of the achievements by people of colour globally.[2]

The game requires players to use strategy and skill, with a bit of luck to "Out Jak" and "Chill Out" opponents, while trying to get their own pieces to separate Home Zone areas on the board. Movement is determined by rolling a dice and answering multiple-choice questions when required to do so.
