Gameplay

One distinctive feature of this game is that it combines trivia with identifying images and betting. Another is that players select the topics of their trivia questions.

Players try to identify images on cards on the board. Once a player has identified an image, they are asked a trivia question related to the image. The player selects the level of difficulty of their question and decides how many chips to bet on whether they know the answer. Different question levels pay out different amounts: true/false questions pay 1:1, multiple-choice questions pay 2:1 and open-ended questions pay 3:1.

Awards

gollark: GTech™ space vessels are fitted with nigh-indestructible femtotech hulls and cannot be "keyed".
gollark: Did you know that you can just rebind constants like that and maths CANNOT stop you?
gollark: Pagination is π effort, where π = 7.03.
gollark: Oh, I see. Well, I generally don't add paging to my projects as they do not deal with enough data.
