OBJECTIVE & PREPARATIONS
The first player to collect 5 question cards, one from each category, or 7 cards from any category, wins the game.
1. Place the Question Cards in one pile (face side up) and the Power Cards in another pile (back side up)
2. Leave room for a discard pile (used Power Cards).
ON YOUR TURN
Draw a question card from from the Question Card pile, read the question and try to predict the correct answer from the 4 multiple-choice questions.
WHAT TO DO AFTER YOU ANSWER
IF YOU PREDICT THE CORRECT ANSWER
- Read the experiment's takeaway on the back of the card and keep the card.
- If your Question Card has a bonus/ best practice question, you can try to answer the question. Answering the question correctly earns the player a Power Card.Â
IF YOU MISS THE CORRECT ANSWER
Read the correct answer and the experimenter's takeaway on the back of the card and award the missed question card to the player with the fewest number of cards. It's now the next player's turn.
POWER CARDS
If your question had a Power Card icon, you are entitled to draw a power card at the end of your turn.
- You can use any of your Power Cards at the end of your turn.
- You can use a Power Card in the same turn your received it.
After you read the question (but before you answer it) you can use any of the power cards.
HOW TO GET A POWER CARD?
Draw a question that has a power card icon on it OR draw a question card that has a bonus question, and answer the bonus question correctly
