About the game
Geek Out!™ is the outrageous game that finds out once and for all which player is the most knowledgeable about your favorite pop culture subjects! In the game, you will draw cards asking you to list things which fall under a certain category. Before you begin, however, the other players may try to steal your points (and bragging rights!), by bidding to list even more than the card requires. The bidding continues until one player is ready to “out-geek” their friends and family. The award-winning geek trivia party game has taken on a new twist in this brand-new Geek Out!™ Family Edition! Level the playing field with topics the whole family geeks out over! This edition uses the same bidding mechanic made popular in the original Geek Out!, but also includes a Gameboard and features topics in categories like Science, Music, History, Pop Culture, and more! You don’t have to be a geek (but it helps!) to win this amazing social interaction and bluffing party game of geek lists! Contents: 720 Lists on 144 Cards, 20 Chips, a 6-Sided Die, Gameboard and Instructions
Questions and answers
Geek Out! Family supports 2–99 players according to the catalogue. This range comes from the publisher’s listed player count, so the game can be set up for any group size within it. Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.
The catalogue lists Geek Out! Family for ages 8 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
Geek Out! Family has a complexity rating of 1.0 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a light game. The rating reflects how much rules knowledge, planning and decision-making a typical game demands. Expect a longer first teach for heavier games, and use a preparation guide before game night.
Geek Out! Family belongs to these categories: Party Game and Trivia. Its main mechanics are Auction / Bidding and Dice Rolling. Categories describe the theme and setting of a game, while mechanics describe what players actually do on their turns.
