Geek Battle: The Game Of Extreme Geekdom (2012)

About this game

This trivia game is designed to be a worthy challenge for gaming gurus, science fiction buffs, fantasy fans, comic connoisseurs, and sharp scientists. It offers a gauntlet of questions from every dimension of dorkdom and is designed to be played in teams (a team can be just one person, though). Answering correctly in four general categories moves a player's token along the spiral pathway. Landing on a Geek Battle space means two players compete to name items in a category until one can go no farther. The first player or team to reach the center ("the Inner Sanctum of Geekdom") and then win a final Geek Battle against another team/player is declared the winner. Includes the board, four stand-up tokens, two dice, cards, and rules.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 3 to 8.
• Rules load. At 1.0/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 10 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
