Description:

Clever trivia game with a twist. Each round, a rotating "genius" chooses a question for the other players to answer.

One or more of those players might be randomly (and secretly) designated as "idiots", in which case they must write an incorrect answer.

There are several ways to score points: get the answer right when you're not an idiot; correctly accuse an idiot; avoid getting found out when you're an idiot; or trick others into accusing you when you're not an idiot.

These scoring dynamics lead to plenty of interesting decisions, making this much more interesting and tactical than your average trivia game.

Setup

Each player decides on a color, places both his ACCUSING pawn and his What's-My-Color? pawn in front of him and then places his PLAYER pawn on the space marked START on the board.

The What's-My-Color? pawn is used only to show which color is his during the game. Shuffle the IDIOT! and Brainiac cards together and place them face down beside the board. This is now the WHOAMI? deck. â€¦
