► How do you play the game?

⭐Step 1: Shuffle cards and put them in a pile face down

⭐Step 2: Players take turns drawing a card and answering the question

⭐Step 3: After they answer the question, they put their card on the corresponding color on their gameboard, color side up

⭐Step 4: The player that fills every square on their gameboard first is the winner!

► What is the "skill steal" card?

⭐Players get one chance to use their steal card to take another player’s card. The reason they would want to steal another player’s card is if they are waiting for a certain card to help them fill their gameboard. Example: player 1 draws a leadership card and reads the question. Player 2 has been waiting a long time to draw a leadership card, so before player 1 answers the question, player 2 presents their steal card to player 1 and gets to take their question. Player 1 then forfeits their turn.

► How many players can play this game?

⭐At least 2 players, but not more than 4 players. If you have more than 4 players people may get bored with the amount of time waiting between their turns. So if you have more than 4 students, make multiple copies of the game for each group of 4 students.

► How long does it take to play this game?

⭐2 players: 10-15 minutes

⭐3 players: 15-20 minutes

⭐4 players: 20-30 minutes

(these are estimates, it depends on how much talking the players do during their turns)
