RULES AND REGULATIONS
The Point Of The Game
Kwizniac is a trivia countdown game designed to test your knowledge
under pressure. The object of the game is for players to accumulate as
many points as possible by correctly answering as many trivia questions
as possible. To help players correctly identify the answer to each question,
a set of 10 clues is provided in decreasing order of difficulty, where each
clue is easier to decipher than the previous clue in sequence. The number
of points a player receives for a correct answer decreases as he or she
progresses through the sequence of clues. The player with the highest
score wins the game.
How To Play
Kwizniac can be played with any number of players.
With 2 players:
If two people are playing, each player takes a turn at selecting a card.
The person selecting the card and giving the clues is known as the
"Kwiz Master". The "Kwiz Master" begins by giving the opposing player
the clues, in descending order, from 10 to 1. The opposing player has
10 seconds to correctly identify the answer after each clue. If he or she
correctly identifies the answer after clue 10 they receive 10 points, if they
get the correct answer on clue 9 they get 9 points, and so on. The number
of points they receive for each clue corresponds directly to the number of
each countdown clue.
Example:
Clue 10 = 10 points / Clue 9 = 9 points / Clue 8 = 8 points / Clue 7 = 7
points / Clue 6 = 6 points / Clue 5 = 5 points / Clue 4 = 4 points / Clue 3
= 3 points / Clue 2 = 2 points / Clue 1 = 1 points
If a player is unable to identify the correct answer after all 10 clues have
been given, they get 0 points.

With 3 or more players:
If more than two people are playing, the first player to draw a card is
chosen by the group - this player is the "Kwiz Master". He or she then
proceeds to give the clues, as above, in descending order of difficulty.
Once a player correctly answers the question the "Kwiz Master" passes
the game cards clockwise to the player on his or her left. That player now
becomes the "Kwiz Master" and the game continues as before.
Any player shouting out an incorrect answer is penalized 5 points.
Duration Of Game
The duration of the game is decided by the players. The game can end
when a player wins by reaching a pre-determined high score of say; 50,
100 or 200 points. Or, it can be determined by time limit, i.e. the person
with the highest score after an established time has elapsed - 30 minutes,
1 hour etc. is the winner.
Keeping Score
Players can elect an official score keeper who is responsible for keeping
score for all players and then announcing the winner at the end of the
game. Or, players may elect to tabulate their own score - it's all a matter
of trust.
The winner of the game is the reigning "Kwizniac
