iKNOW is a board game released in 2012 for 2–6 players, 60 minutes per game, and ages 15 and up. Its main mechanics are Betting and Bluffing.
In the trivia game iKNOW, you get to test what other players know while trying to score for yourself. The game includes 1,600 questions in four categories, and each question comes with three hints at three levels of difficulty that reveal the answer piece by piece. Do you think you'll know the answer first – or should you let other players give the question a try? iKNOW also includes a betting element that gives you a chance to win no matter how much – or how little – you know as long as you know who does or doesn't know. Do you think that your friend knows his sports forwards and backwards? Do you know that geography is your spouse's worst stumbling block? Place your bets for or against your friends, and collect the winnings.
iKNOW supports 2–6 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 listed playing time for iKNOW is 60 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game. The actual duration depends on the group, the player count and familiarity with the rules: first sessions usually run longer, while experienced groups often finish faster. Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists iKNOW for ages 15 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.
iKNOW has a complexity rating of 1.4 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.
iKNOW belongs to these categories: Card Game, Party Game, and Trivia. Its main mechanics are Betting and Bluffing. Categories describe the theme and setting of a game, while mechanics describe what players actually do on their turns. Each mechanic links to a catalogue hub with similar games, which helps when you want something comparable.
The catalogue lists iKNOW as a base game. It can be played on its own with the components in the box and does not require any other title. Expansions, if any exist, add new content or rules on top of it and are listed separately in the catalogue with a link back to this base game.
