About the game

What you do in a play session

Get ready to dive into the nerdy universe of The Big Bang Theory with this board game that tests your knowledge of the show! If you're a fan of Sheldon, Leonard, Penny, and the whole gang, this game is for you. The idea is simple: answer trivia questions ranging from hilarious facts to obscure details from the series, ensuring only true fans stand out. But a geek's life isn't just about knowledge! Prepare yourself for tense rounds of the famous "Rock, Paper, Scissors, Lizard, Spock" game – yes, the one even Spock couldn't always win! Additionally, you'll need to use your drawing skills to advance around the board and collect character cards. The ultimate goal is to assemble a complete set of cards, proving you're the biggest fan of all. The game includes everything you need to start the fun: fact cards, fiction cards, character cards, the game board, player pieces, a die, a notepad for drawing, and of course, the instruction manual. It's a great choice for gathering friends for a themed night, testing who really pays attention to the series' details, and having a good laugh. The 'Roll and Move' mechanic takes you around the board, while 'Set Collection' is your main objective. For hardcore fans of the show, it's a chance to prove your love and knowledge. For more casual players, it can be a fun introduction to the geek world, although the language dependency is a point to consider.
