Spiel des Wissens Planet Erde

The Quiz game for all the family

In this special edition of Spiel des Wissens, based on the BBC TV series and the film of the same name, players travel round our planet. To be able to travel the must be able to answer questions. In this edition questions come from a general category called Nature and from 6 special so called worlds – mountain world, jungle world, ice world, cave world, deep sea world and desert world.  –

On each question cards questions are separated into an easy and a hard section, two in each section. At the start of the game players decide together who gets which difficulty level throughout the game. Before each question the player decides if wants to answer question 1 or question 2 on the card.

You roll the die, move and answer a question. A wrong answer ends your move immediately und you must either stop on the small spots, or go back two positions from a so called explorer spot or even go back 7 position from one or the world spots. In your turn you can up to three times roll the die, move and answer correctly. If you manage that, you get another free roll + move. If you reach a world spot, you must stop and – in case of a correct answer – you can pick up a world ring for your pawn. Special rules apply for the finish area beyond the deep see world. If you reach the finish first with 6 rings on your pawn you win.

Spiel des Wissens is and has been always a good game, and so is this special edition. The selection of questions is especially good and interesting here. And having to move back for a wrong answer really hurts! A nice detail is the rules table for what happens on what kind of spot in case of a wrong or right answer. All in all the game is as interesting and informative as the series.
