I finally purchased this one after many months of hearing about it on the various board game podcasts I listen to. I needed a good family game that was simple enough for everyone and also enjoyable for my non-gamer wife. In a nutshell, our first game was quick (about 20) minutes and we all had fun.
Everyone gets a mini-dry erase board and a marker. All players are asked a question where the answer is a number. They each write their answer on their dry erase board and then place it in the center of the table in numerical order. There is also a printed board that remains on the table with a Number One on it. This helps for the second part of the game...guessing who wrote down the correct answer. Each player is also given two Meeples. One is worth One Point and the other is worth Two. Each player takes their Meeples and places them on the card where they think the correct answer was given (without going over). Each player has the option to place each of their Meeples on a different card if they would like. Then the answer is read and scoring happens. Again, you score your meeples if they were placed on the correct card and you also get one point if you wrote down the correct answer. Simple enough. First person to twenty points wins.
The questions are in line with what most children should understand and if they don't, they could reasonably guess. My six year old didn't know what I was talking about with some of the questions, so I just skipped ahead to a new question. My wife cheered a few times after getting the answer exactly right. I like being competitive with my wife so I cheer if my answer was right and hers wrong.
In the end, everyone at the table had some laughs after getting an answer right or scored some points by placing their meeples in the right place. The game was short enough to where there would only be another round or two if you were ready to be done. There are also a ton of questions in the box so you really could play this one for a long long time before seeing the same questions. I think there's already one expansion out as well.
I'll be taking this one out a lot more if I can. Setup is quick and easy. Play is quick and easy. Anyone can join in with ease. I'm a fan of the trivia element. And the questions are easy enough to where your children can get them right and laugh in your face when you get them wrong. Who doesn't love that!?
