Was ist Was

Das grosse Quiz

Another „big“ quiz game in the range of WAS IST WAS quizzes, a successor to the 2015 edition, featuring questions in five categories. Each player has his individual player board with slots for tasks - either on categories or type of question or optionally category or type of question. Categories are Round the World, Wonders of Nature, Culture and Sport, Through the Ages and Simply Ingenious; types of questions are ABC - you select one of three answers, True or False needing a yes/no answer and Assessing - you select one of five number blocks, e.g. 30-79. Numbers in answers are rounded up.

In turn, players are quiz master and select category and type of question - both must be different from those in the previous round. You read the question, give an answer yourself and then the solution. When the question and maybe answer options are read, all mark the answer on their disk. If you answer correctly, you get a points chip and put it on a free, suitable slot on your board. If you cannot fill a slot anymore, you get a Joker chip, if still available. Such a chip can be used to look at another player’s answer and change your own or to change the quiz master’s selection of category or type of question or shift a chip on your board to another slot. If you have filled all slots on your board, you win.

For a longer game you can use the additional boards; for a game with children there are suggestions for distributing boards and jokers at the start of the game.

A new edition of the game, but without App, featuring changed rules and a nice scoring mechanism using the individual task selection as well as an interesting selection of questions.
