• Item recall is an established fundamental learning tool with evidence that it is superior to standard content mapping (Karpicke 2011).
• Jeopardy has been used in medical education as a game form of item recall (Khan 2011), but it is difficult and labor intensive to build the game.
• We tested a Monopoly format as a game version of item recall for emergency medicine residents at a single insitution. The pilot topic was pediatric fever, but any topic can be used. 

Game Rules (see video for example):

• 3-5 teams of 4-8 learners each. Teams compete to own the most "rooms" (board squares) by answering questions correctly when they land on "rooms."
• One projector shows the game board (Fig 1), the other projector shows "cards" (slides) seen in Fig 2. If a second projector is not available, the game moderator can simply read the questions aloud (as in the video).
• A team's turn starts by rolling a single die, then viewing the "card" for that turn. (We used a giant die made of an old cardboard box that provided additional entertainment to the learners.)
  • If a question card is drawn, the team has 30 seconds to answer the question.
    • If the team answers correctly, an extra game piece from their team is left from the center of the electronic game board to the room (square) to mark it as theirs, and the next team rolls.
    • If the team answers incorrectly or does not answer within 30 seconds, that team's turn is over, and the next team rolls the die.
  • If a "white cloud" card (Fig 3) or "black cloud" card is drawn (similar to Chance cards), the team follows the instructions on the card. The cloud cards are a variety of humor (e.g. "Your program director found out you didn't log duty hours for 3 months! Lose a turn.") and additional instruction included in the card narrative (e.g. that the San Francisco Syncope Rule is only 87% sensitive, as in the example card in Fig 3).
• If a team lands on a room owned by another team, a "code" ensues; the teams race to be the first to answer a single question correctly; winner owns the room.
• Game ends when all of the rooms are owned or the pre-determined alloted time (e.g. 1 hour) expires.
