Fact or Crap

Basic trivia game where players try to figure out if a statement is a Fact, or just a load of Crap.

The players take turns being the Reader in a clockwise direction.

After the Reader has read the first question, the other players have to decide as fast as they can whether the answer is Fact or Crap. The players indicate their answer by putting face down either their Fact Answer card or Crap Answer card. The Reader then determines which player was the first to put their Answer card down. Once all of the Answer cards are down, the player who was first to answer turns over their Answer card. If the answer is correct, they receive 2 tokens from the middle pile. The Reader will then ask everyone to turn their Answer cards over. All other players with the correct answer will receive 1 token. All players with the wrong answer (including the player who puts their Answer card down first) will have to put 1 token back in the middle pile.
The Reader’s turn is complete when all 3 questions have been read. The Question card is then returned, face down, to the bottom of the Question card pile.

During the game you will randomly draw Rush Hour cards. The Reader who picks up a Rush Hour card may nominate any player to answer the Rush Hour questions. Once the nomination has been made, the egg timer is turned over and the Reader begins to read the questions. The aim is to have all 5 questions asked and answered within the time limit so that both Reader and the answering player have a chance to win as many extra tokens as possible.

There are two ways to win Fact or Crap.
- The game ends when all tokens from the middle pile are gone. Players then count up their tokens. The player with the most tokens is the winner, proving they know the most Fact or Crap!
- In the event that all players but 1 have lost their tokens, the remaining player is deemed the winner.
If at any time during the game a player loses all of their tokens, s/he is then out of the game.

Bezzerwizzer

Bezzerwizzer is a quiz game from Denmark. It contains 5000 questions (English version has 3000 questions) from 20 categories. It takes its name from the german 'Besserwisser' meaning "know-it-all".

On your turn players draw the category tiles from a bag and sort them on their player board according to their knowledge. If you know the answer to the category questions that you thought you're worst at, you get one point. For your best category question you receive 4 points.

Each players has 3 additional tokens. One is labeled with a "Z" the other two are labeled with a "B". With the "Z" token you can swap one of your categories with another player. Afterwards it's out of the game for this round. You can use the "B" token when you think you can answer a question that your opponent might not know. This brings you additional points.

It's a quick and funny party game that you can also play with teams.

Avalon Hill Game Company's Game of Trivia

The object of the Avalon Hill Game Company's Game of TRIVIA is to be the first player to answer enough questions to earn a Bachelor's Degree in Trivia. Players start as Freshmen and advance through the rank of Sophomore, Junior, and Senior by correctly answering questions, with each advance in class opening up new paths on the gameboard. Halfway through their journey, players select a "major" and "minor" from one of six different "schools" (categories) covering Communications, Science/Technology, Social Sciences, Fine Arts, Health/PhysEd, and the Student Union. The game ends with a "final exam" consisting of questions from the leading player's major and minor.

The game's questions tend to come from more specialized and esoteric categories than its contemporaries. Though a mere 18 questions answered correctly will win the game, players who were not alive during the Depression will find this game lasting well beyond the two-hour mark.

True or False

The aim is to correctly answer as many true/false statements as possible, so you can go around the game board before everyone else.

For every wrong answer you give you have to move closer to the center of the board. If you hit the center and you have to restart the game. On the other hand the track is shorter near the center. For each right answer, you may choose to move outwards as well.

The statements are from different time ages:
- Before Christ
- Year 1 - 1899
- 2000th century
- Anytime
The time age depends on the current colour your counter stands on.

New changed rules, doesn't force you to restart from the beginning after running through 3/4 of the board, but only one step backwards.

The Finnish version by Användbart Litet Företag does not have time ages, but rather four different categories - 'It Can Happen', 'Delicious', 'Naturally' and 'This & That'

The Norwegian version by Damm / Egmont does not come with a game board, but the players bet money on how sure they are in their beliefs. First player to 1 000 000 wins.
