Jeopardy! Card Game is a board game released in 2017 for 2–4 players, 20–30 minutes per game, and ages 12 and up. It was designed by Brian Yu and its main mechanics are Open Drafting.
A Card Game inspired by the Jeopardy! TV Show. Players test their wits answering real questions from 20 categories from the TV Show. 6 categories are randomly dealt to the board to determine what categories are in play this turn. Then players are dealt a hand of 6 category cards - these determine what questions the players can answer. Each question is worth $100 times the number of questions asked in that category this round. In Double Jeopardy, cash amounts are doubled. For Final Jeopardy, players set how much of their winnings they wish to wager based on a single chosen category. The Player with most money at the end of the game wins! Advanced rules introduce drafting of both Category and Category Cards for more strategic play. From the back of the box: No Alex? No Problem! Simply grab the Jeopardy! Card Game and get ready to play. 1000+ clues from 20 different categories will challenge all players from novice to expert. Just remember to put your response in the form of a question! Note: This game shares its name with one published by Endless Games which features gameplay simular to the television series.

The listed playing time for Jeopardy! Card Game is 20–30 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game.
