Description
Get ready for ludicrous guesses, ridiculous comparisons, and argument-inducing approximations in this fast-paced party game.
Quick to answer and hilarious to quarrel over, these aren't your regular quiz questions. With 300 cards and 900 questions to choose from, challenge your opponents to wacky guesstimations like how high the Eiffel Tower is in adult male ostriches, or how long the longest ever human hair was in French fries. Who will get roughly the right answers to win the game?
QUICK TO LEARN The game can be learned in 30 seconds, but with 900 questions to choose from, it is endlessly replayable.
FUN FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY Can be enjoyed by families together and adults of any age.
HILARIOUS QUESTIONS Ridiculous comparisons get everyone laughing as they try to, roughly, guesstimate the answer.
EDUCATIONAL Not quite trivia, not quite a quiz, but you might actually learn something!

About the Author
Ellie Dix is a board game obsessive, an ex-teacher and an educationalist who firmly believes that games are a sure-fire antidote to unhealthy online distractions and a means to a happier, more social life. She now uses all her understanding of behaviour, experience with gamification, teaching skills and game-playing history to design and develop board games; pitching ideas, developing games created by others and collaborating on interesting commissions.
In her spare time, Ellie will usually be found playing a board game (unsurprisingly). She also loves singing, acting and ballroom dancing and has recently completed an OU maths degree... for fun.Also by Ellie Dix
