About the game
Geek Out! Pop Culture Party is a party game that can determine once and for all which player is the most knowledgeable about your favorite pop culture subjects! In this game, which is aimed at a more mainstream audience than parent game Geek Out!, you draw cards asking you to list a certain number of things which fall under a certain category: television, movies, music, literature, and more. 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. Collect a predetermined number of cards, and you win!
