About the game
Think Again! — a.k.a. C'est pas faux! (French for "It's not false") — is a party trivia game in which all players know all the right answers – but where the right answer is not always what you are looking for. Players take turns reading questions. After a player finishes reading a question, he reveals the back of the next question card, which indicates whether the other players need to answer correctly or incorrectly. If the question card shows a green dot, the word "Right" or the genius (co-designer Bruno Cathala's face), players must give the correct answer. For the question "What color are the Smurfs?", the first player to answer blue scores a point. If the question card shows a red dot, the word "Wrong" or the dunce (co-designer Ludovic Maublanc's face), players must give a wrong answer. For the question above, the first player to answer any color EXCEPT blue scores a point. If you speak too quickly and give a correct answer when an incorrect one is required (or vice versa), you lose 1 point. After each player has asked five questions, the player with the most points wins. There are some absurd questions (e.g.: What colours are the letters of the alphabet?). It that case, the only correct answer is "Think again". Also include rule variants for play in teams over 3 rounds.

Questions and answers
Think Again! supports 3–10 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 Think Again! 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 Think Again! for ages 10 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.
Think Again! has a complexity rating of 1.3 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.
