About the game
What you do in a play session
Get ready for a generational showdown in 'Beat the Parents'! This game is a fun knowledge test between parents and kids, where each side tries to answer questions that are typically easier for the opposite generation. Picture this: parents tackling video game trivia while kids explain how to use a landline phone! The board is a path to traverse, and movement hinges on answering questions correctly. But watch out, 'wild cards' can trip you up, sending you backward, or give you a boost towards the finish line. The goal is straightforward: be the first to get all your tokens across the board. It's a hilarious race that promises plenty of laughs and, perhaps, a bit of family rivalry. Perfect for family game nights, where the fun is guaranteed and knowledge (or lack thereof) decides the winner. It's the kind of game that gets everyone interacting and having a blast, regardless of age.
