Eye Know (2007)

About this game

Eye Know is a visual trivia betting game. At the start of the game, a number of cards are laid out on the game board. On a turn, you choose one of the cards and identify the image on it. (This isn't the hard part, but rather a precursor of what's to come.) If you correctly identify the image, you can then bid some amount of poker chips to answer a trivia question relating to the object named on the card, or you can auction off the right to answer a trivia question. Questions come in three varieties — true/false, multiple choice, and open ended — and the payouts are higher for the tougher questions: 1:1, 2:1 and 3:1. Answer correctly, and you collect more chips as well as the card; collecting sets of cards gives you bonus points, and the player with the most points wins.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 8.
• Rules load. At 1.6/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 14 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
