About the game
What you do in a play session
Here is how it goes: each round, a card with three topics hits the table. The active player picks a topic, and someone reads the question. The twist happens before the answer is even given: everyone else must bet on whether they think the active player will get it right or wrong. This adds a layer of bluffing and table-talk that is absolutely infectious. You can rack up points by being a trivia master, but you can just as easily win by being a sharp observer of your friends' capabilities.
This game is incredibly portable. Planning a trip to the pub, waiting in line, or just killing time? This is the perfect companion. Since the questions cover accessible topics, no one feels left out for not being a walking encyclopedia. The goal is to keep the momentum going with quick rounds and plenty of laughs over bad bets or surprising successes. Plus, the series is designed to be modular. If you pick up other boxes in the line, you can mix them together for an endless variety of challenges. It is the ultimate 'filler' game that fits in your pocket, goes anywhere, and usually results in playing five rounds in a row without noticing. It is light, social, and a genuinely clever way to revitalize the trivia genre, making it both collaborative and competitive enough for any group of friends.
