Inquizitor

Anagrams and superlatives

With the maximum possible correct answer and some luck with dice you try to be first to reach the finish! You answer a question according to the location of your marker, roll the dice after a correct answer and move your marker. Red, orange, yellow and green yield questions of this color, blue something „Hard to Believe“ and purple a category of your choice! Topics of red questions are films, musicals or books; the card cites a passage or a short summary and the title is the correct answer! The questions on orange cards come from the areas of nature, science, superlative and records; the answer is always a number and is deemed to be correct if it does not deviate by more than 20% from the given answer on the card. Yellow cards ask for correct explanations of terms from regional sources or officialese / community language or of loanwords. The green cards offer anagrams for unscrambling; the correct solution is always a noun. The questions on the blue cards focus on curiosa; there are always three answers given and only one is correct. In case of a wrong answer to any question you are asked a “saving question”! For correct answers you roll dice and move a marker; if you reach the finish first, you win. In a version you can take over the question from the active player if he gives a wrong answer. In this case no saving question is asked.

Inquizitor is basically a standard quiz game, but the questions are interesting, good, and not run-off-the-mill. The rules are equally carefully made and offer nice details for a game that works well whether you play in teams or on your own.
