Zero is a board game released in 2011 for 2–6 players, 20–30 minutes per game, and ages 12 and up.
If you have always wondered what it feels like to be a complete Zero, then this game is for you! Zero is the exciting family game that asks players to search their minds for the "least popular" aspects of pop culture. More than 450 people were surveyed in the US, UK, Australia and Mexico and University Games tabulated their answers to hundreds of questions. Now, you and your friends can match wits with them to see who comes up with the "least" likely answer. Each Card lists all of the correct answers to each question and points are awarded based on the popularity of the answer. The winner is the player who scores closest to zero when the game ends! Contents Include: 270 Question Cards, Game Board, 6 Moving Pieces, 18 Tokens and Instructions
Zero 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 Zero is 20–30 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 Zero 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.
Zero 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.
Zero belongs to these categories: Party Game and Trivia. Categories describe the theme, setting and style of a game rather than its rules. Filter the catalogue by the same category to find similar games when you enjoyed Zero and want something comparable for your next game night.
The catalogue lists Zero as a base game. It can be played on its own with the components in the box and does not require any other title. Expansions, if any exist, add new content or rules on top of it and are listed separately in the catalogue with a link back to this base game.
