About the game
HISTORY Trivia Game is a tournament of knowledge and strategy — the first player to win a card in all 5 categories is the WINNER! However, opponents can attempt to block each other from the specific categories needed to win by replacing their answered question card with a new card from ANY category. The trick is knowing which categories your opponents need to brush up on or already won. But wait – there is another way to win! Every 3 cards from the same category can equal 1 WILD card for any of the categories a player still needs, so whether you know a little about a lot or a lot about a little – it’s anyone’s game! —description from the publisher
