Spiel des Wissens

CLassical journey to GalaXIA

With the series „Die Klassiker“ Spiel des Wissens has been re-published in a revised, edition.

In Spiel des Wissens GALAXIA is the unknown planet which players need to reach; to do this they must move along the spiral path and answer questions in order to be able to advance on the path; you need a good stock of general knowledge and also information on special topics; you start your journey on Earth and each of the double-sided cards lists two easy and two difficult questions on each side; at the start of the game you determine what player answers which kind of questions.

Each special topic features 10 cards and is allocated to a planet: Mars – Fairy Tales and Stories; Jupiter – Heroes and Scoundrels; Saturn – Cartoons and Television; Uranus – games on words and language; Neptun – animals and Pluto – Sports and Games.

You roll a die and move and answer a question to advance; in case of a wrong answer you either stay in place or move your marker back two step. In your turn you can roll, move and answer a maximum of three time times. On the planetary spots you answer questions from the respective special topic and receive a planet ring for your marker if your answer is correct. For a wrong answer you stay put till you answer correctly. If you are on Pluto and have acquired its planetary ring you answer questions on general knowledge to advance one step per correct answer towards Galaxia. Whoever reaches Galaxia first with six planetary rings has won.

Spiel des Wissens is still an evergreen among quiz games, still actual with a well-assembled mix of questions, having to move back really hurts!
