## Description
Blockbusters Gold Run Card Game captures the buzz of the classic British TV quiz show and puts it on your tabletop. Two players face off, trying to link four hexagons of the same colour on an imagined board. The only way to advance is by answering general‑knowledge trivia questions correctly, just like the fast‑paced Gold Run segment of the show. There are no fancy prizes, but the fun is undeniable: each right answer opens a path, each miss blocks your opponent. Rules are razor‑thin and can be taught in a few minutes, and a typical game runs about 20 minutes – perfect for a quick break or a night‑cap. Components consist of question cards and a scoring marker, making it ultra‑portable for home, travel, or friend gatherings.
