correct answers to color buildings

 

The city must be colored to avoid a movement to the dark side. The game offers four levels of difficulty and you have 24 questions to achieve the aim of the game.

Depending on the number of players you place 3 to 8 buildings dark side up, the rest is placed colored side up. Dark buildings are irreversibly lost with a wrong answer and are colored by a correct one; colored buildings are irreversibly won with a correct answer and turn to dark with a wrong one.

You select a building and are given a question of the building category; you must answer alone, but can, if available, get help from an active clue card: All players name a word for a clue or give clues by sounds, humming or pantomime. In extreme cases, Hilfe-in-der-Notkarten can be used, each one once. In the more difficult levels, challenge cards are added. If you answer without using clues, you can reactivate a used clue card. Lost and won buildings are removed from the display.

When the last question card was used and not all necessary buildings - 8 to 11 depending on the difficulty level - are won or more buildings than allowed are lost, the game is lost; when all goals of the difficulty level and the challenges are met, all win together. Includes a campaign rule - all cities on a board must be won, and all 12 buildings in QuizCity, the game capital. Challenges are used and lost cities give you additional questions for later games.

Challenging questions, a nice meta-game in the campaign and a nice, well-working additional use for answers which makes the game more challenging and thrilling. A real titbit for fans of quiz games!
