In "Kneipenquiz Family & Friends Spezial" players answer questions like in a pub quiz. Players either play together (vs. imaginery opponents) or in a team vs. team mode. The questions are all about general knowledge except for some special questions about the players (e.g. "What book would XY take to a lonely island?"), which one player has to secretly answer while the teammembers have to guess his/her answer correctly. A game consists of five turns where each turn has a time limit of 5 minutes. For every correct answer a team advances one or several fields on the board. After turn five the team which advanced the most on the board is victorious.

Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
