About the game

An innovative, interactive and terribly clever quiz game! Answer trivia questions and manage your risk to win points for your team! Each round, to avoid the wrath of the Grand Kiwiz, you eliminate the wrong answers one by one, being careful never to reveal the correct answer! The Grand Kiwiz believes he is quite educated and loves to test his court by asking them questions. To preserve their vain sovereign's pride his subjects must make sure to never give the right answer until the very last moment… Two teams of players compete over 6 rounds. Each round, they encounter 9 trivia assertions, 8 of which are false. The teams score points by revealing false assertions one by one, and lose points if they inadvertently reveal the correct answer. Each round, a Champion from each team takes turns in a tug of war: Use deduction to remove a cylinder from the board, hopefully revealing a false answer and increasing their team's score! If the correct answer is revealed by accident, the Grand Kiwiz is offended and your team will score minus points this round! Ask a teammate for help on which cylinder to remove, if they feel they need assistance to know which cylinder to remove. Pass in order to secure the team's current score without taking any more risk! The round ends when a team has inadvertently revealed the right answer, reached the maximum score or both chosen to pass. The team with the highest score after 6 rounds wins the game! —description from the publisher
