About the game
Know that one friend who knows everything about D&D, anime, and the Oscars? Well, in 'É Top!?: Geek & Pop', having that knowledge is great, but it's not the only way to win. The game revolves around 'Top 10' lists. In each round, a category is revealed, and players must guess items that appear on that list. It sounds like a standard trivia game, right? But that's where the twist comes in: the game introduces a layer of betting and bluffing that changes everything.

You don't win points just by being right; you can also score by contesting another player's guess. If you think your friend's answer is wrong and decide to challenge it, you can earn extra points. But be careful! If you contest an answer that turns out to be correct, you're the one who loses points. This creates a delicious tension: 'Does he actually know what he's talking about, or is he just trying to bluff me?'

This specific version dives deep into the geek universe and pop culture, covering everything from comics and sci-fi to video games and manga. It's the perfect game for a game night with friends, as it supports up to 10 players, making the dynamic of arguments and challenges even more chaotic and fun. Additionally, the flexibility is total: you can play with this deck alone or mix it with other versions of the 'É Top!?' series to expand the categories and make the game even more unpredictable. With simple rules and fast-paced rounds, it's the kind of game anyone can learn in two minutes, but it sparks heated debates over who is the true pop culture master at the table.
