Customer Review

Players must identify within five rounds pictures correctly and to answer questions correctly. But to reap the most victory points, also needs to be wagered on one's own knowledge and only those who assesses here properly, will end up winning.

Game preparation:
The board comes in the middle of the table and the 300 picture cards are shuffled. Of these 5 cards are drawn for each player and another 14 added (Ex .: 4 players = 4x5 = 20 + 14 = 34 cards). The remaining cards from the game. This new batch will be mixed again and stored with the image side up and down the 14 top cards on the empty spaces on the board.
Players get every 5 white chips, the other chips come as Bank aside (white = 1 point, red = 5 points, black = 25 points).
A starting player is determined.

Aim of the game:
Most points achieved!

How to play:
The active player taps on a card of his choice on the board and its right neighbor takes the card to him. The active player must now dub the image properly and if it has it named correctly, they receive a white chip for reward and his right neighbor makes him even one of the three related questions.
He was wrong, his left neighbor may try to dub the image, he is wrong, it will take turns so on until a properly advised and this is given a white chip for a reward and then asked the quiz gets or nobody knew and the map is then discarded. In this case, the empty card box is reloaded from the deck and it follows the original next player with a new round.

The quiz cards showing on one side the image of one of the four categories (This & That [yellow], Natural & Co. [Green], People & Characters [red] Symbols [blue]) and on the other side the corresponding name and including three question categories.
The first question is a "True or False" question, the second is a multiple-choice question (with three possible answers) and the third is a knowledge question with only one correct answer.

Ex .: "Nicolas Cage"

1) "Nicolas Cage received an Oscar for his role in Leaving Las Vegas. True or False?"
- Incorrect

2) "Which of these films Nicolas Cage had no role The Wicker Man, The Family Man - A heavenly decision or Hollow Man - Invisible Danger"
- "Hollow Man - Invisible Danger"

3) "Which two roles played Nicolas Cage in Adaptation - The Orchid Thief?"
- Charlie and Donald Kaufman

The active player must decide before reading the question for one of the three categories and then use at least one chip with a value of 1 and a maximum of up to the value 5.
Does he know the correct answer, he gets his bet back and make a profit, according to the category:

1) Profit = stake plus x1; Ex .: 2 is inserted = 2 + 2 = 4 (using doubled)
2) Profit = stake plus x2; Ex .: 2 inserted = 2 + 4 = 6 (use tripled)
3) Profit = stake plus x3; Ex .: 2 inserted = 2 + 6 = 8 (use quadrupled)

He did not know the answer, he loses his bet to the bank.
In both cases it maintains the card (fd Endabrechnug), the empty card box is filled with a newly re-drawn map and the next player follows.

Full time:
When the draw pile is depleted - and each player was five times the number - the game ends immediately. Finally, follow up a statement, in which players add up their chips and additionally per card combination specially get points yet: 3 cards of the same category (color) = 5 points in addition, 4 cards = 10 points, 5 cards = 20 points, 1 card of each color = 15 points.
The player with the highest score.

Variants:
Depending on the number of players, participants can consider individually or in teams to play.
People who have an iOS - device has (. Preferably tablet, wg the screen size), the app "Eye Know - play it smart" to downloads and gain access to another challenge. This can be used twice in the game in order to win additional chips, instead of a 'normal' train.
If the app used an initially completely unrecognizable picture taken will be displayed and a time bar runs out. Little by little, the image is so together that you could recognize it and if the active player thinks to know the solution, he presses the stop button and rename the image. He was right, he gets back his bet plus the x times the use, depending on what number has stopped the time bar.
He was wrong, the application is gone and it is followed by the next player.

Conclusion:
Here is another quiz game? Yes, one more thing, and varied it! Eye Know invents the wheel is not new, but combines well-known game mechanics quite adept together and presented to the interested parties so a family of group-compatible game. Material quality and presentation are very good and as per match only a certain number of tickets needed, ranging 300 quiz cards (x3 questions) from many rounds without being boring.

The betting element fits in well with the gameplay and makes the whole even more exciting - but beware who overestimates himself, is fast because no chips and can only collect cards, but will not get any more chips, there's nothing for use there. That can now and then take care of frustrating moments and intimidates some players, so rarely more than one chip is offered in the questions.

The total playing time is short but pleasant and the quizzes were talking in different occupation size equally well.

Overall a good family game for interested rate foxes.
A pity, however, that the cosmos has still not discovered the Android OS itself and so a large proportion of buyers outside vorbleibt, when it comes to the game bonuses!
