About the game
True or False is a game in which the aim is to correctly answer as many true/false statements as possible, so you can go around the game board before everyone else. For every wrong answer you give you have to move closer to the center of the board. If you hit the center and you have to restart the game. On the other hand the track is shorter near the center. For each right answer, you may choose to move outwards as well. The statements are from different time ages: - Before Christ - Year 1 - 1899 - 2000th century - Anytime The time age depends on the current colour your counter stands on. New changed rules, doesn't force you to restart from the beginning after running through 3/4 of the board, but only one step backwards. The Finnish version by Användbart Litet Företag does not have time ages, but rather four different categories - 'It Can Happen', 'Delicious', 'Naturally' and 'This & That' The Norwegian version by N.W. Damm & Søn (Damm) does not come with a game board, but the players bet money on how sure they are in their beliefs. First player to 1 000 000 wins.

Questions and answers
True or False supports 2–6 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 True or False is 60 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 True or False for ages 12 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.
True or False has a complexity rating of 1.5 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.
