I bought this game as a gift for my Mom and had the opportunity to play with three others after Christmas. You must identify the picture on the cards placed on the board from different catagories and then answer one of three increasingly difficult questions true/false, multiple choice or open-ended). As one card is identified, another picture card is placed on the board. I found this game to be fun even though I am not "worldly" when it comes to trivia. There are enough cards in various catagories that one can coast. For instance, I recognized a picture of a venus fly trap plant and correctly answered a true/false question (come on, it 50-50!)earning an equal number of chips I had bet. Players bet poker chips based on how well they think they know the subject of the card and the level of difficulty of the question. I could keep up as a big better. I will buy this game for myself to play with my adult friends.

I purchased 2 games at the same time, this one and "Apples to Apples". Buying both was a smart move, the kids (4 teens) like Apples to Apples better but really enjoy this one as well. Think of it as trivial pursuit with pictures, I seem to know 90% of every card but I've spent most my life staying very up to date with current events. Each time we play the kids retain more information about people, logo's, products, animals, buildings ect.. The really cool feature is that you make a wager based upon how much you know about the subject. This allows anybody to win. For instance the card has a picture of the "Honda Logo", I get it correct so I get a poker chip for being correct. I then can wager up to 3 chips depending upon how much I know about Honda. I tend to be conservative with my betting unlike my children and they always seem to win each time.

This game was a big hit at several of the parties I have taken it to. The rules are very simple and can be explained in less than a minute. Better yet, just start playing and it becomes clear very quickly. The trivia was appropriately challenging where it needed to be but also easy enough for everyone to enjoy. Like the other reviewer, I recommend making up your own rules if you like doing that as a couple things didn't make sense to me:

1. What do you do if you are out of cash?
2. When the matching is useful is something I wasn't sure about.

I also think it would be great if they came up with a longer version of this game. It seems over too quickly!

This is fun game and is well made. We invented our own rules pretty quickly about answering the questions. The creation of sets at the end of play encourages taking on challenging images, which improves the game. It is hard not to just look at every card and test your knowledge, then read all the answers. Doing this would render the game useless, but would be a fun 45 minutes or so!

My family enjoyed playing this game.

I bought this game in Canada as a thank you gift for a friend watching our pets while we were on vacation in Toronto. They are huge board game fans so I wanted to pick something they wouldn't have already in their large collection and this was the best gift. I was in an educational store when I bought it and it had a sticker saying it was game of the year. After playing it I know why. The design of the game makes it easy for children and adults to play together--that being said it is not too easy nor too challenging for mixed ages to play together. There are 3 options to choose from which also makes it easier for each person to find an area they can answer. For full details I recommend going to the manufacturer's site at:


I recommend this game for anyone interested in trivia games but are looking for a little bit something different. Again, a great family game.

This game is a great group game. It is great for almost every skill level. (I need to see about getting more trivia cards for the game, if they make more)
I would highly recommend this game!

We all are really enjoying this game and the kids learn things too!! Would definitely recommend it for families with kids over the age of 11.

Highly recommend this great spin on a trivia game. It involves pictures and betting, a new and fun variation on an old concept.
