Playroom Entertainment Geek Out! Table Top Card Game

Super fun game but watch out! Set the guidelines of the question before answering or there will be arguments. Have google on stand by to fact check answers. I recommend a timer in coming up with guesses as it can take all night. Were still talking about a round we had months ago, and who actually won. LOL

This is another game that we bought after seeing it played on Tabletop, and just like all the others, this one is fun to play too!! We also picked up Geek Out Tabletop edition so that we could play them together, just like they did on Tabletop. We used 1 stack of cards from this game and one stack from the original Geek Out. Then each round we would take 1 card from each stack, roll the dice, and pick which card we wanted to use. That way it gave us a little more options to choose from. It is a lot of fun betting who can name more from the required list. There were some questions that we decided that we would just take turns naming answers until the other teams ran out of answers. A perfect example of this was "name 6 characters from Star Wars". We just took turns naming characters until each team ran out of answers. It's amazing how much discussion these lists bring up so it is definitely a fun party game!

Fun! Have been looking for a trivia game that we could play with my son. Played this with my geeky husband and two 12 year old boys. It was good becasue the tweens were good at all the video game stuff and the adults the other stuff. A couple of questions none of could answer.We did have to look up a couple answers that were disputed.

Great game for group of geeky friends. Questions cover many categories - Comics, Sci-Fi, Fantasy, Games, and Misc. Really fun to play in teams so you don't have to come up with your bluffed seven obscure comic villains by yourself. Clean, kid friendly if they're into many of the game's categories. Is quite fun and definitely recommend for your next game night.

This is one of those "not the best games, but a fun activity". By that I mean if this were played without really keeping score while socializing I would enjoy it but don't really enjoy it as a game.When playing the game teams of players will take turns rolling a die. The die indicates the category of question to ask on a card; comic books, fantasy, games, science fiction, and miscellaneous. The question will consist of a topic and minimum bid, for example "four Marvel super heroes". The first player has to either pass or bid four or more. Then the bidding goes around until all but one team has passed. They then have to name the number they bid or else they lose two points. Succeeding wins them a point.The issue with this as a game is the same as any other trivia game honestly. One team is going to know more than the others and they will most likely win. Without players with pretty equivalent knowledge playing the game then it isn't a fair contest. Granted, these are all categories I know a lot about, I guess I'm a geek, so I was entertained seeing how many I could name in these different categories. But that doesn't make it a good game.Because I enjoyed myself though and hang out with a lot of people with similar hobbies and interests this may work as just a social activity without the points and stopping whenever we are just tired of it instead of playing to 5 points.P.S. I got the TableTop version which comes with an extra set of cards about the TableTop web series. If all the players playing don't watch the show then don't include these in the game would be my suggestion.
