About the game

ZnajZnak is an educational game designed for two players, who acquire knowledge automatically while playing. ZnajZnak allows even 32 persons to play with the use of one set of cards. While playing the ZnajZnak game, players learn to recognise symbolic characters, dates, figures, places and objects of the Polish history. The game is composed of 132 cards. Each of them presents 12 different symbols concerning the contemporary history of Poland. If you take a closer look at any two cards, you'll find out that they contain a common character. 132 cards, 133 symbols and always only one common character. The aim of a player is to notice the character on two other cards on the table and to tell its name as fast as possible. If the player succeeds to do that, he/she passes his/her card to another player. If he/she does not know the name of the character, he/she turns the card, reads the definition of the symbol, puts a new card on the table, and the game goes on. The winner is the person who first gets rid of all the cards in hand.
