What to Expect
This board game adapts the German TV show format: players compete in various quiz categories to earn credits, win rounds and become the host of the next category. After six rounds the top candidate advances directly to the finale; an additional round decides their opponent. The game emphasizes show‑style category rotation and a final quiz showdown.
Who Is This Game For?
For fans of the TV show and quiz players aged 10 and up; designed for groups of 3–5 and suited to an evening session (about 90 minutes). Accessible for families but also enjoyable for players who like structured, category-based quiz play.
How It Works
Round-based quiz gameplay: players face off in different categories, collect credits and the round winner becomes moderator for the next category. After six rounds one player qualifies for the final; a seventh round determines the challenger. The structure mirrors the televised competition with successive categories and a final round.
What Makes It Special
Designed by Jens Merkl, the game brings recognizable categories from the TV show into a board game format, letting players take turns as moderators and recreate the show’s progression in tabletop form.
