Piatnik Smart 10

Naming film partners of Julia Roberts, sorting world cities according to their longitude, guessing the countries of origin of international pop bands, and knowing the host countries of football world championships. A quiz game can hardly offer more variety than "Smart 10." Practically packaged in a travel-friendly box, the questions go round and round - and after just 20 minutes, they are incredibly addictive. Each of the 100 cards features one question and ten possible answers on each side, with the answers covered by markers. When it's your turn, choose an answer, lift the marker, and check if it's correct. If the answer is correct, you keep the marker and pass the Smartbox to the next player, who can then only choose from nine answers. If you don't want to answer anymore, you can pass, but if you answer incorrectly, you lose all markers collected in the current round.

At the end of each round, each player's score is recorded immediately using the built-in scoreboard in the Smartbox, and then it's time for a new question. The first player to reach 15 points wins, although you can also play up to 30 points for a longer game. In addition to classic knowledge questions, players may need to estimate an order, find a color or year, or classify answers as true or false. This can lead to intriguing thoughts: Is it really true that the film "Gladiator" once won an Oscar? What does the abbreviation "SUV" actually mean? In which decade did the Bee Gees sing "Staying Alive"? And what color were Asterix's trousers again? "Smart 10," developed by the Austrian author duo Arno Steinwender and Christoph Reiser, revolutionizes traditional quiz games. Without long waiting times, the game flows smoothly from one player to the next, with a wide spectrum of questions that are almost always relevant to today's world. The compact box also makes it easy to pack the game for your holiday.
