About the game
What you do in a play session
What the fact?! The History of Video Games is a card game that dives into the history of video games with questions and trivia about the most iconic games, legendary consoles, and random facts every gamer should know. The deck includes 102 cards with questions about video game history. To start, players draw a random card, read it aloud, and reveal the answer, which becomes the starting point in the data row. On your turn, draw the first question from the deck and, without seeing the answer, place it to the left or right of your starting card. If you think the answer is greater than the number in the data row, place it to the left; if smaller, to the right. After placing the card, flip it to see if you were correct. If right, it's the next player's turn; if wrong, you keep the card. Two wrong guesses, and you're out! As the game progresses, the data row grows, and you'll need to consider all cards when placing your next question.
