About the game
What you do in a play session
If you think you’ve got everything under control, brace yourself for a surprise: …I should have known that! is a trivia game that breaks the mold of most competitors. Instead of earning points for correct answers, you lose points for wrong ones. The “penalty point” concept turns every mistake into a playful blow. The game features over 400 questions covering everything from pop culture curiosities to historical facts and everyday details. You and your friends build a deck of questions by selecting cards from a common pool – the Open Drafting mechanic adds a layer of strategy, as choosing the toughest cards can give you an edge. The final result is a quick game, lasting 15 to 45 minutes, playable by 2 to 99 people, perfect for parties, family gatherings, or whenever the group wants something different and fun. No prior knowledge is required – all questions are general knowledge – but the speed of play demands constant attention. If you enjoy memory challenges, test your knowledge in a light way, and laugh at the mistakes, this game is for you. The negative scoring creates tension, but also makes every error a point of fun. Try it and see if you really know what’s going on around you.
