About the Game

Each of the seventy two quiz cards contain a question pertaining to one of four quiz categories.

The quiz categories as seen on the television series are: This Round Is In Code: The letters of the items in a given category have been replaced by a simple code. A becomes 1, B becomes 2, C becomes 3, etc. Roonerspisms: The player must respond to a question with a two-word phrase with the first letters or sound of each word swapped (a spoonerism). Opposites Attract: The clue words for each item of the category are the opposites of the word in the correct answer. Answer Smash: The proper response consists of two elements. The second element of which is always the last part of the first element. This is always the final round of play and the tiebreaker if necessary.

Three cards of each quiz category are selected randomly. The question on each card is hidden from the sight of the players until it is time to be played. When played it is placed in full view of all players. The first player who signals readiness to respond can answer the question. A correct response scores that player the card. An incorrect response results in no penalty to that player but leaves the question open for the other players.

The game continues until all twelve cards have been played. The player who has scored the most cards is the winner.

Assuming no tiebreaker questions, there is enough for six games without repeating material.
