Smart10: History is an expansion for Smart10 released in 2022 for 2–8 players, 20 minutes per game, and ages 14 and up.
100 new questions, 1,000 new answers from the History section! The “History” theme edition is ideal for anyone who is familiar with history. Simply exchange the 100 new questions with half the deck of cards from the Smartbox of the original game or the Family Edition and nothing stands in the way of further exciting quiz rounds. Questions such as "Which Greek deity is responsible for sleep?", which countries were members of the Warsaw Pact or whether the 100-year war ended in the 15th or 16th century are sure to make history professionals from the age of 14 ponder or encourage gambling. There are ten answer options to choose from for each question, which are covered with markers. Whoever has a turn chooses one of them, checks whether it is correct and passes the smart box on to the next player. If you don't want to give an answer anymore, it's better to pass, because if you get it wrong, you lose all the points you have collected in the current round. Who knows the right answers or guesses and gambles best? The pack contains 50 double-sided cards with new questions and answers for even more fun. Only playable with the Smartbox from the original game! —description from the publisher (translated) 100 neue Fragen, 1.000 neue Antworten aus dem Bereich Geschichte! Für alle, die in Geschichte fit sind, bietet sich die Themenedition „History“ an. Einfach die 100 neuen Fragen mit dem halben Kartensatz aus der Smartbox des Originalspiels oder der Family Edition tauschen und schon steht weiteren spannenden Quizrunden nichts mehr im Weg. Fragen wie „Welche griechische Gottheit ist zuständig für den Schlaf?“, welche Staaten waren Mitglied im Warschauer Pakt oder ob das Ende des 100-jährigen Kriegs im 15. oder 16. Jahrhundert war, lassen Geschichtsprofis ab 14 Jahren sicher teilweise ins Grübeln kommen oder zum Zocken animieren. Pro Frage stehen zehn Antwortmöglichkeiten zur Wahl, die mit Markern abgedeckt sind. Wer an der Reihe ist, wählt eine davon aus, kontrolliert, ob’s stimmt und gibt die Smartbox an den nächsten Spieler weiter. Wer keine Antwort mehr geben will, sollte besser passen, denn wer falsch liegt, verliert alle Punkte, die er in der laufenden Runde gesammelt hat. Wer weiß die richtigen Antworten oder rät und zockt am besten? Die Packung beinhaltet 50 beidseitig bedruckte Karten mit neuen Fragen und Antworten für noch mehr Spielvergnügen. Nur spielbar mit der Smartbox aus dem Originalspiel! —description from the publisher
Smart10: History supports 2–8 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 Smart10: History is 20 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 Smart10: History for ages 14 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.
Smart10: History has a complexity rating of 1.0 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.

The catalogue lists Smart10: History as an expansion for Smart10. Expansions add new content, rules or scenarios to the base game and usually cannot be played on their own, so you need Smart10 to use it. Check that your edition of Smart10 is compatible, as some expansions were revised between editions.
