PLAYED FOR YOU

iKNOW

Know; guess; guess what others know

The elegant white box offers a new quiz game; you are meant to collect 20 points in answer chips by correct answers to questions and correct guesses on how well the other players will do. Questions come from the categories of People, The World, Products and Works of Art as well as Phenomena and Events.

Each player is given two markers and a white chip. One player is reader of the first round, he reads out a questions in a category of his choice; he marks it with the transparent marker; at this point he does not read out any clues. The other players now place their iKNOW marker on a free spot on the board - if you think you can answer after one clue, you place the marker into one of the two 3-points-squares, for two clues into one of the two-points-squares and for three clues in one of the one-point-squares. The player whose marker is in front then guesses first, which of the other players will answer the question correct or wrong and places his marker accordingly into an empty circle in the (+) or (-) side of the board, next to the iKNOW marker of the player he picked.

When all markers have been placed, the first clue is read out. Then players on the 3-points-squares answer, after the second clue those on the 2-points-squares and so on. For a correct answer you score the corresponding number of chips; for correctly guessed reactions of other players you score one chip and the reader gets two chips.

The unusual mechanism allows for a tactic to let others answer first and also to repeat answers that you believe are right; if you are seated far from the reader you might have to answer first without wanting to!
