Was ist Was: Das Quizspiel
2–5 players · 30 min · 8+
A mixture of board game and trivia game. The players move with train and planes across a map of the world, collecting various knowledge chits. At various times, a quiz round is hold, where the players can use the chips and their knowledge to gain points. There are 4 themes for the trivia questions - history, science & technology, nature & animals, geography.
The board game part is quite simple; move the pawn to a place with a chit, or draw a plane or a joker if you have none. Once one player has 3 chits of the same color, or the last chit of a color gets drawn, a quiz round occurs.
For the trivia round, a card is turned up with a question and 12 possible answers; an unknown number of them is right (example: which of these towns were members of the Hanseatic League). Each player can now use his knowledge chits of the proper color to bet on the answers he assumes are correct (one chit per answer) and score points.
