About the game
Quizzard is a trivia game where you not only have to be right, you have to be fast. The heart of the game is an electronic buzzer device that records who will answer the question first. Up to 6 players have this buzzer pad in front of them and the first one who hits the button gets to answer. However, you can lose points for incorrect answers so before you hit the button you'd better know the answer. The game comes with a book of trivia questions divided into Champion, Master, and Wizard levels of play. Rules for nine variations of the 3 levels are included in the rules. Quizzard has three game setting labeled Fast Hands, Strategy (machine selects who will answer) and Countdown. Quizzard runs on 4 AA batteries and has a built-in score track.

Questions and answers
Quizzard supports 3–6 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 Quizzard is 30 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 Quizzard for ages 8 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.
Quizzard has a complexity rating of 1.6 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.
