About this game

Guessing facts about fellow players Each round, a players reads a question and the three possible answers. He secretly selects his choice, and the other players simultaneous try to guess it. They bet 1 or 2 chips on their guess; correct answer doubles your bid, wrong loses it. The person questioned receives as many chips as there are correct guesses. Each player starts with 10 chips, and the same total is used as the bank. The game ends when the bank breaks. Goal is to get most chips. The questions have a very wide range. Some examples: - How is your relationship with your father? - When did you last laugh out loud? - How many persons from the following list do you know: "Vera Lynn, Lee Harvey Oswald, Maria Callas"?

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 6.
• 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 14 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
