PLAYED FOR YOU

FortyTwo

A fast game for fast thinkers!

A quiz game with a cute mechanisms! 165 Question cards are marked on their back side with 2, 4, 6, 8 and 10 for the points that you can win with them. Each card shows three questions, corresponding to the button on the timer - blue for 60, yellow for 45 and red for 30 seconds time to give the demanded number of answers, sometimes a card states additional parameters.

In your turn you choose the number of points you want to win, choose a card from the corresponding stack and determine the question by casting a color die. If you give the necessary number of correct answers, you move your marker accordingly on the track. If you not know all answers you may ask your fellow players and can buy missing answers from them for points - you can also negotiate! But all communication, the stating of the answers you bought and - maybe - doubting of answers must be done within the run-time of the timer. When all necessary correct answers were given within the time frame, you move the remaining points and all helpers move for the points you gave away. For one wrong answer or if an answer is not given on time, nobody scores. Whoever reaches 45 first with his marker, wins.

FortyTwo provides a well-working, witty and clever mechanism using a well-chosen selection of questions - Who knows 6 animals that can put out their tongue? Or who can name - for 10 points - seven Germanic tribes or 10 words ending in "-heit". And can I trust my eager helper who demands three points for two answers that the answers he will give will be correct?
