Top & Flop

Quiz-Party in Teams

Players sort themselves into four to six teams of one to three players of even size. The reader of the round takes the card holder with question cards and the blank card tile; each team takes a pen, a betting board and betting chips. Players jointly choose a letter for the questions.

The question reader of the round takes the foremost question card, covering its back with the blank card, and then reads the question corresponding to the chosen letter.  The answer to each question is a number; all teams now write down a number secretly on their betting board; then all answers are revealed simultaneously and the tips are sorted in ascending order. Now all teams decide where to place the betting chips; they should go to the number that is closed to the correct answer, but lower than the answer; you can also bet on your answer or split the chips between two answers or place them on Top & Flop.

Then the betting chips are revealed and the answer is named. Top tip of the round is the answer closest to the correct one, but lower – points are scored by the team that game the tip and to those who did bet on it. When all answers of the round are higher than the correct one, the top tip of the round is the Top & Flop board. In round 7 you use victory points in your bet and then win with most points. But there is a snag! Victory points that you do not bet with in round 7 are forfeit!

A cute idea, the individual mechanisms are all pretty much standard, but nicely combined. You can decide to go for the „experts“ or follow your own gut feeling to accrue as many points as possible. A very nice addition to the range of quiz and trivia games.
