Eye Know play it smart

The Quiz game to use your eyes

 

Eye know is a quiz about images that you choose, name and bet on.

A number of cards in relation to the number of players is prepared, 14 of those cards are laid out on the board, image side showing. The active player chooses one card and names the image according to the demand on the card, building or mammal, or else. His neighbor takes the card and checks the back: If the active player has given the correct name he takes a Chip of value 1, if not, all others in turn may try to name the image for a chip of value 1. If you name the image correctly you may answer a question. For this you bid a minimum of 1 and a maximum of 5 and choose one of three questions. Question 1 is always a true/false question without given answers, Question 2 is always an open question, again without answers provided, and Question 3 is a multiple choice question with a choice of three answers. The correct answer earns you chips in relation to the question type chosen and the value of your bid, and you get the card, regardless if you answered wrongly or correctly. Collected cards can earn extra points for color sets. When all players were active five times you win with most points from chips and sets. In the play-it-smart version using the free app you choose an image from the board or an app challenge, which brings image parts that gradually make up the image; again you name the image as soon as you believe you know it, and can then bet on a question.

Basically a standard quiz game, but sophisticated and interesting due to the excellent choice of images and questions, not everything is as easy as Eiffel Tower and the questions are difficult!
